Pros

The mission and work in the field is unbeatable. If you want to feel proud about the change you are making join World Vision.

Cons

The office is very competitive and inefficient. Teams do not work together because they are fighting to get noticed and funded and without team work everyone is one their own struggling to get noticed and the work is redundant because teams will not share research or methods. This is a very expensive and destructive environment. The team with the biggest voice or the "inside relationship” wins, rather than the team that is most innovative or has the best results. For big talkers (generally men) they get ahead and the productive innovative teams go unnoticed. The Executive Team is disconnected and they fail to acknowledge or reward teams.

Pros

Most people here have a mission to serve children around the world. You can leave at the end of long day and feel you made a difference, not just an extra buck for a stockholder (which is fine if that's your thing). New COO (CEO is Rich Stearns) is passionate about the cause and is a good communicator to staff; he's very transparent when discussing strategy, financials, etc. In general, you sense a genuine care from employee to employee. Don't mistake it, though, for a church or highly social startup...no it's corporate like any profit company in that there deadlines and demand for good performance. Many of the executives bring this culture from for-profit places, such a Microsoft. P&G, Yahoo, Starbucks Corporate, etc.

Cons

While some leaders do preach good life/work balance, I've seen numerous burnouts over my years. This has more to do with employees taking on too much because they are passionate about the work, and then they've taken on too much which becomes the norm. I do understand leadership is going to start addressing this, especially with a new, high-likable SVP of Human Resources.

Thank you for taking time to let us know your thoughts. We agree that it is a blessing to know your work is making a difference in God’s kingdom! We do, though, understand that staff can run the risk of workplace burnout when they don’t have good work-life balance. World Vision cares about our employees and actively look for opportunities to encourage a healthy balance. For example, in response to employee’s desire for improved health, we recently revamped our employee gym area, which is open to employees during the work week. Also, you are accurate in saying that the senior leadership team is driving prioritization and simplified work to give employees focus. Thank you again for your heart for serving children!
