Pros

The only positive about Movember is the lower level staff members (who are all underpaid and left to flounder, with an aggressively negligent approach to providing any training or support inc. mental health support). They are lovely and try their best in a hopeless organisation overseen by the most hopeless senior management team any of us have ever experienced.

Cons

- Spiteful management teams, totally toxic - Incredibly poor wages, and zero raise year after year after year - The worst CEO in the history of CEOs - Hopeless HR teams who belittle staff and provide zero support - Complete chaos around strategy, simply embarrassing. Senior management can't speak to the strategy if you try and get them to support it, yet expect us to somehow translate that to something cogent in our communications externally - Expectation to take calls at 2 in the morning regularly to suit the Australian office's working day. - Rides on the coat tails of other far more effective charity partners rather than being effective in their own right. Honestly, *do* *not* accept an offer to work at Movember. Like all of us, you will regret it and be left scrambling to find a way out.

Pros

- Great office culture, and the teams are all very supportive of each other. Good at balancing fun with a great work ethic. Competitive pay, as far as charities go (in my opinion, as they paid me more than most jobs in LA were offering me for a similar role) - Good work-life balance as they did Hybrid and also were flexible on work schedule as long as you got your work done and made it to important meetings. -They're very open to feedback as well - Made efforts to do career development (although they were all so busy it didn't get as much time) Would definitely work there again given the opportunity.

Cons

-As the title says, they are struggling with market visibility, especially in the US market. This leads to an uphill battle with getting funding and results in a plateauing of their funding for 2026. -Also they have an issue with media management, i.e., visibility on relevant apps and making younger people on social media care. They seem to be aware of this and are taking steps to try to remedy it. - Don't have great benefits, and the retirement fund isn't that great either.

Pros

A workplace that values fun, is laidback, great health care and vacation, the people are generally cool and caring.

Cons

This is for the US market - the impact is not palpable and makes "selling" the work difficult. It's more of a shtick of selling a brand and the programs don't tie directly to fundraising efforts. The "Mo Bro" culture is tired and can feel alienating to those who don't drink the cool aid. Leadership is caring but still can feel like amateur hour. Lots of favoritism. Didn't learn as much as I hoped in my time there.
