Freedom to work on projects important to you. The teams are made up of really talented and interesting people that you can not only learn a lot from but also enjoy working with.
|
Leadership does not seem to know which direction to take the company. Most of the people in the technology department are being let go. Current direction seems to be to outsource most of the technology work.

(Mostly) Great people, terrible management
|
|
There are some great people here who make the day go faster. The holiday schedule is good and the benefits do a lot to cover the poor pay. There's a lot of opportunity to take charge and increase your own skill.
|
Management is terrible. Leadership is indecisive, flip-flopping on priority, and unable to commit to a budget. One founder (guess) has little understanding of the work behind implementation and makes unrealistic demands of staff. Projects will be marked as important or critical yet lack any institutional drive. The CTO, while incredibly knowledgable of engineering and DevOps, had zero interest in IT and often left the department out to dry. His support of IT team members was non-existent. Also, the pay gap here is incredible -- even for non-profit. Leadership will often fire back that budget is tight or raises need to be delayed and yet someone would be making 3x the amount their direct report is.

Take time and make well-researched decisions. Understand that a taped together product may need more backend work than just feature addition. If something is deemed important, make it known through your actions as well as word. Support your internal employees along their career. Equalize pay or don't complain about budget.

Beware: Program does not work, leadership is erratic and deceitful, no growth
|
|
Interesting solution to a problem that does exist
Program design that could have merit
Entry and middle level employees are smart, talented and collaborative
|
Leadership is unable to make decisions or execute and people surrounding the leadership keep their mouths shut to maintain their jobs. Leadership is a huge bottleneck to making progress.
The program, while having benefits, is too costly to implement and unscalable
Lack of focus and prioritization of strategic initiatives
Company is cheap with compensation and benefits for entry and mid level but overpays its top leaders
Unfortunate example of how non-profit organizations end up getting a bad reputation

A good idea, some great people, and 1 really bad leader
|
|
smart team passionate about education
interesting challenges
nice view
|
Younger co-founder is intelligent, but is a very bad manager. He tries to set everything up to run as much detail through him as he can handle. He is constantly shifting direction on both big and small things. It is amazing that the CEO has allowed him to stay this long.

Good work environment but some serious problems that need solving
|
|
Casual dress, good hours (this is team-dependent; tech tends to work more than the rest of the org), generous PTO and decent compensation for a nonprofit, co-workers are great for the most part.
|
One of the co-founders can be very difficult to work with and micro-manages everything (we once spent 15 minutes in a meeting debating a word and its synonym...). Pricing model needs to be seriously re-evaluated.

Co-Founder is the problem
|
|
Good benefits, everyone is friendly, casual dress code
|
Younger co-founder micromanages every employee he manages (even down to the color of an event on his calendar), refuses to relinquish any control, and is very contradictory.
He tends to say one thing or ask you to do something, but then change his mind or think he's telepathically told you what he really wanted so that when he comes back to you about it he wonders why you didn't what he actually wanted. It can be maddening.
When something is 98% working, he tends to focus (obsess) on the 2% that isn't, therefore slowing down everything in the process.
He also tends to speak in metaphors and abstract concepts without being direct. In other words, he has extremely poor communication skills.

Good people, poor leadership, questionable results
|
|
- Great mission
- Coaches and tech supports are strong
|
- most communications with schools are skewed toward making the product look more effective than it is
- extreme micromanagement from the top; the company values do not match the behavior of the founders
- very few long-term partnerships with schools because the effort needed to implement far outweighs the results
