Pros

There are people in the org that are really fighting to bring POC & LGTBQ + to the forefront, unfortunately the dominant fragile nature of leadership isn’t open to thought leadership or any change that would naturally come with that.

Cons

They need to stop leading with the diversity line if people will be stifled when they speak up. It shares an unfair and misleading presence to aspiring consultants and leaders coming into the fold. No room for change to the current implementation methodology and a small pipeline that doesn’t support the numbers they want to grow to. Be careful with the “open door policy” once you say it everyone will know and the only help you get is out the door. Extremely high turnover rate and fast. They advise of how much they’ve hired but not how much the fire or push out if you don’t automatically align with their process.

Pros

-- spirited and lively company, keeps a 'small town' kinda feel even as its currently scaled to 80-85 people -- videoconferencing the norm even before pandemic to help simulate that 'face to face' contact -- no bad apples or bitter personalities -- growing fast so lots of new hires always...but offset by relacing others (see below cons section)

Cons

-- employees concerned about an exit of some great and multi-year employee talent which seems worse in 2021 so far.. as I write this in april 2021, has seemed to be between 2-3 people a month - some weeks on the internal employee newsletter there's at least a person leaving each week it seems... so about 8 to 12 already. doesn't seem like much but on a workforce of about 80 that's more than 10% and with the smaller feel it's MUCH more felt and noticeable than a large corporation. reasons many maybe? employee burnout, projects scaled maybe too large for the small team or experience of those in it... reasons can be wide-ranging... but the trend seems to be 'get out while you can'. -- be careful about burnout but that's true in any consulting organization. some of my great colleagues and friends have moved on from here.. always disappointing to see. -- if you sort glassdoor reviews by date and any 'clusters' of reviews done on the same date or within a day or two of each other suddenly (after silence of months) is a good sign the company's asked people to go onto glassdoor and write a review.. not saying they coach what to say but it's a push to do it -- difficult to get home/work life separation in any consulting firm, no different here

Hi there - Thank you for taking time to leave a review and share feedback. We appreciate your comments about our staff culture and how we prioritize staying connected and as "face-to-face" as possible. Our staff-wide retention rate is over 90%. Consulting typically averages around 85% retention, and we aim to keep our retention as high as possible. It's always hard to lose great talent, but we are working hard to ensure Cloud for Good is a great place to work overall and especially in Salesforce consulting -- updating compensation models, revising review processes to focus on learning and growth, introducing new benefits, staying flexible with our remote environment and staff supports, and finding ways to stay connected despite not seeing one another live and in-person in the past year. If you'd like to share any other feedback, please reach out for a confidential discussion: peoplesupport@cloud4good.com. Thanks again, Cloud for Good

Pros

- Working from Home. Your (non-management) peers are amongst the nicest, most caring people you will ever meet in your entire life. The CEO, Tal is a very nice guy who truly believes in serving the nonprofit world. This is not true of some on the senior management side, however. - You have an opportunity to take your Salesforce skills and apply it towards helping those in need.

Cons

The turnover at Cloud for Good is the highest I have ever seen in any company in my entire career. My estimate would be that nearly 30 % of the staff (including many managers) have left over the past year. In fact, it has gotten so bad that employee departures are no longer announced to the company. It has become an accepted fact that every Monday, you will login and notice that 1-2 of your colleague are no longer signed on to the Zoom chat. Things weren't always this bad, however. A couple years ago, there was a big internal push with the aim of promoting a positive and fun culture. In recent months, with some new management on the Services side, this has now become a thing of the past. Now, as a consultant, your only metric for success is to BILL hours. Management will deny this, but these are the facts on the ground. Now, it is completely understandable in the world of consulting to have a big focus on utilization, however, this should also come with appreciating employees for the efforts they do "outside" of this. For example, as a consultant, you are encouraged to help with marketing efforts. This can be a very fun learning experience, however, management does not take these extra efforts into account when doing quarterly reviews. Worst of all the new management on the Services side is extremely rude and is not well received by the consultants at the company. Everyday consultants privately message each other sharing their experiences of being absolutely berated and disrespected by some of their managers. Additionally, they fear raising their concerns to the CEO or HR, because they fear they will lose their job. If you are looking for some quick "in and out"experience in the SFDC nonprofit space, this the place for you. But, if you are looking for a company that has managers that respect their employees and treat them fairly, I highly encourage you to look elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review. As a current consultant, we’d love to discuss your experience and learn from it.
