Pros
The people are absolutely incredible. It is the smartest, most passionate, and kindhearted group of people I have ever encountered in a workplace. Everyone truly assumes best intent and cares about the mission.
The work is meaningful. You have the opportunity to apply technical skills to transform the justice system at scale.
The pay is competitive for a nonprofit.
Hybrid workplace! The NYC and Oakland offices are lovely and welcoming, but you have the option to be a remote worker.
There is ample room for growth. Your manager truly cares about your professional development goals and you are continuously challenged in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Cons
Working with government can be tough, but other than that I do not have any cons about Recidiviz. I recommend it as a place to work in the highest regard.
