      awful culture - Anonymous employee YoungMinds Employee Review

      Pros

      The organisation tends to attract talent due to the cause and there are a few dedicated staff that remain, myself being one of them (although I am now seriously reconsidering)

      Cons

      Senior leadership team are routinely bullying and harrassing staff and have embedded an insidious culture of perceived failure and blame. Droves of talented staff have left in the last year due to failings at a senior level to address deep seated problems with the practices and culture impacting staff. Don't believe the positive reviews - these have been written by staff 'under instruction'

      Pros

      - the people. I have never worked anywhere with more committed and passionate people. - the cause. The work Youngminds does can’t be faulted. As a charity it is committed to its goals. - to some extent flexibility - but this was undermined by workload. - Emma Thomas was a great CEO but hasn’t been the CEO for a number of years. Those that have taken over have not met the same standard.

      Cons

      - unattainable workload. Expectations to work above and beyond hours. Almost encourages compassion fatigue. Work done to assess workload was never acted on. - poor SLT. Poor decision making. Bad people management. Lack of learning from mistakes. - failure to see employees as ‘humans’. Poor at managing people, especially as a mental health charity. - promotion based on if you fit and were liked. - poor performance of senior management not addressed - leading to risk.
