Pros

- Health insurance is fully paid for by Wikimedia, even for dependents. - HSA is almost fully funded by Wikimedia to IRS maximum amounts. - 4% 401k match. - People are very friendly and the culture is very positive. - Remote first workplace.

Cons

- Wikimedia LOVES meetings. We have meetings about meetings. Way too many meetings compared to industry standard. - Understaffed and under budgeted. Teams are asked to do more with less. We operate like a tech company, but without the budget due to being a non-profit. We're asked to meet specific initiatives, but also cut costs. Those two things do not always coincide. - People can get away with not working on par with the rest of their team/colleagues. Some junior level employees don't always try their hardest to learn and grow and instead escalate to senior level employees even though it may be a very junior level task. - Work life balance could be better. Sometimes I'm contacted outside of working hours. - Sick time and vacation time is very limited. Having a family you can run out of sick time very quickly when you need to take off to take car of others and yourself. - Low pay compared to industry standard or other tech comapnies.
