Pros
I normally do not get involved in anonymous public review sites, but I feel compelled in this case because of what some of the other reviews say. My experience at Amida was very positive, and I use them as a reference which they always provide. The team is excellent, as other people have pointed out. As a woman I have never dealt with a more fair and compassionate CEO. He always reminded us why we were there - to do stuff that matters with people we care about. It is true that he drives people very hard and has very clear ideas about what he wants. It is also true that he is the first person to help you solve a problem, even if you made the problem. He has a professorial discussion style that may rub some people the wrong way. I like it.
Cons
Amida has hired some very young people. I wonder if some of the other reviewers have had limited exposure to the ups and downs of professional life. The boss is supposed to tell you when you make mistakes. The CEO is accountable to his board. I have never heard him raise his voice to an employee and I would be very surprised if that was true. He always wants more. I think hiring a lot of people with limited experience was well intended but maybe is the source of some anxiety.

Pros
Amida's greatest strength by far is the extremely talented employees. This is a highly collaborative organization, and my coworkers are constantly helping me improve. In addition, the mentorship opportunities are incredible, and include not only members of the Amida senior staff and board, but also other high-profile individuals in a number of fields. Beyond the staff, the work we do is interesting, stimulating, ever-changing, and impactful. It is definitely a change from the non-profit or government space, but in a good way. There's no red tape, and you can see pretty immediate results. The office is in a great location in downtown DC, and Amida takes care of its employees with lots of perks, including plentiful pantry options and benefits you might otherwise see in a much larger company (401K, health insurance, tech budget). My experience here has been overwhelmingly positive. I highly recommend working here - if you are committed to working really hard for a cause that you believe in.
Cons
As mentioned in some of the other reviews, Amida is not a cakewalk. This is a startup, and we have to produce excellent work to continue our prosperity - there's not room to rest on our laurels. Our work culture reflects this - "get your stuff done" is the rule we live by (and die by, for some folks). Stress levels can be high, especially as deliverable deadlines get closer, but it's balanced with less intense days where you can grab lunch with coworkers or leave in time for happy hour. However, this isn't the type of office that can support someone who surfs the web all day or expects a 30 hour workweek, and unfortunately, that's reflected in some of the negative reviews. Yes, "perfect" is the standard, and it can be a very tough standard to achieve. Even for those who did not continue working at Amida, the management is committed to finding a good career fit somewhere else, and this is true of everyone who has left the company. Have there been days where I want to scream and rip my hair out? Sure. But, I have never been at a job where I have been more excited about getting up and going to work every single day. Please don't let the bitter reviews deter you from this incredible opportunity.
