CivicActions Reviews

-Lack of stability. We lost a few contracts and everyone is either panicking or sending their resumes to every developer job they can find -Benefits. Again I used to be proud to say medical is fully covered for me and my family, 401k matching is generous and they provide $1,200 in professional development. We lost 2/3 due to how shaky things are. -Transparency. This is built into our mission, yet I find out updates either through the grapevine or through honest managers (there are a few that are awesome and keep us in the loop). The AHC calls seems forced and the "wins" seem to be all talk. I am seeing fake reviews with 5 stars posted recently. I can guarantee you NO ONE is feeling '5 stars great' right with "no cons" so please stop lying management. -lack of structure. The Executive team does not seem to be on the same page. The CTO would give us an update on our engineering call, then the COO would say something completely different. Either our CTO is being more direct or they are not getting the same information.

Benefits used to be a pro, but 401k matching and ProDev was cut this year. While the mission and team are strong, the leadership culture has become increasingly disheartening. As you move closer to upper management, the cracks begin to show. Leadership, especially at the executive level, seems more focused on appearances than substance; offering cheerful messaging in public while privately making decisions that undercut employee trust. The company has lost key contracts, and rather than sharing openly or involving the team in solutions, the initial reaction was to quietly cut back on benefits and restructure without transparency. There’s a growing feeling of instability. Decisions are made in silos, performance narratives are being shaped without context, and long-time contributors are exiting or planning to exit. CivicActions once stood for transparency and inclusion, but recent actions suggest those values have been deprioritized in favor of control and optics. Do not get me started on their process of laying off our Canadian Team.
