Pros

Working opposite the Natural History Museum in Kensington and Chelsea. Staff meetings in a beautiful 19th century Anglican church.

Cons

HTB as an organisation exists to fulfill to the vision of its senior clergy leadership. This leads to significant internal dysfunction because the priority is asking "how high?" when senior clergy leadership says jump; as opposed to normal organisational checks and balances. Clergy are put in charge of departments, often with less experience in those areas than department members, and sometimes with a lack of significant real world management experience. Presumably the clergy are there to provide 'spiritual oversight' but in reality this amounts to simply ensuring the senior clergy leadership's vision (good or bad, realistic or unrealistic) is carried out.

Pros

- one or two of the people are brilliant - some of the products and events are great - the healthcare benefits aren’t awful

Cons

- different opinions to management is seen as defiance - overworking and burnout is glorified - reducing budgets and stretching staff too thin seems to be the driving force - senior management are more than happy to throw junior members of staff under the bus to protect themselves - it’s all about who you know… - there’s no loyalty
