Every review on here is a lie - Designer Permanent Legacy Foundation Employee Review

Thank you for this feedback. We couldn’t agree more that actions speak louder than words. Permanent is a nonprofit organization with a small, tight knit team that puts every staff person in a leadership role. We maintain a collaborative and inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is heard to make sure all staff, contractors and partners feel like they have a meaningful influence on the direction of our organization. We do make that happen by co-creating performance expectations and coworking guidelines, conducting bi-annual 360 reviews for all team members, hosting quarterly OKR planning retreats, investing in internship opportunities with community partners, and giving every departing team member an exit interview to capture concerns and recommendations. Our regular cadence of weekly team meetings and individual check-ins creates ample room for feedback and a transparent shared accountability framework. We also make regular efficiency improvements to our meeting schedules in response to employee feedback. Even being a small nonprofit, we are still proud to maintain competitive salaries that are determined by pay equity landscape review and work with contractors that understand and share our values. Staff also receive yearly COLA as well as regular performance based increases. Our mission, vision and values drive everything that we do and program initiatives like Byte for Byte ensure that we make real progress on those goals. Despite our best efforts, we understand that the dynamic, challenging, and busy nature of an ambitious social impact nonprofit effort is not the ideal environment for everyone. We regret that we couldn’t address your concerns while you were here. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
