Remote and Flexible, but Expect Constant Firedrills and Tight Budgets
Pros
- Mission-Driven Work: The company does incredible things for humanity, making the work deeply meaningful and rewarding. - Remote Work & Flexibility: Offers excellent remote work options and the day-to-day flexibility to complete tasks on your own schedule.
Cons
- Little to no room for growth or career advancement plan. In the entire time I was there, not one person from my department was promoted, on the contrary, the company had 3 layoffs in the few years that I was there. - Voluntold Culture: While attendance at company events is framed as "voluntary," there is strong management pressure to attend. Declining invitations noticeably impacts your day to day worklife. -Expect frequent, sudden shifts in priorities. If an urgent issue pops up, you are required to drop everything instantly and pivot at lightning speed. - Lots of back and forth with editing. Unsure of who trumps who with seniority or accuracy. - Funding is highly unstable and constantly fluctuating, resulting in an extreme lack of resources and budget.
