Pros

Code.org is an incredible place to work, especially if you’re passionate about education, equity, and making a real impact. The organization’s mission to expand access to computer science is deeply ingrained in everything we do, and it’s inspiring to be part of a team that’s truly making a difference in students’ lives. Leadership is supportive and transparent, and there’s a strong culture of collaboration and inclusivity. Work-life balance is respected and highly encouraged. One will be amazed to see the impact of their work at such deep levels. If you’re looking for a workplace where you can grow, be inspired, and contribute to something bigger than yourself, Code.org is the place to be!

Cons

Code.org is full of passionate people who care deeply about the organization and its mission. This strong emotional investment creates a culture which might feel intense for those who prefer a more detached or transactional work environment.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're really happy to hear that our mission speaks to you and that you’ve enjoyed the creative work and supportive team environment at Code.org. As a non-profit, we’ve worked hard to offer the best possible benefits within our means. While we’ve prioritized comprehensive health coverage for employees and their families (100% coverage), we understand the desire for a retirement match. Though we don’t offer a match, we hope you’ve been able to take advantage of the other benefits we provide, like our flexible, supportive work environment, generous PTO, and professional growth opportunities. On compensation, we strive to offer competitive and, when possible, above-market merit increases to reward high performance. We aim to provide a competitive compensation program that attracts, retains, and rewards a high-performing team to accomplish our bold mission. If you have any additional feedback or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact your People Business Partner. Your input helps us improve, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it. Thanks again!

Pros

Great coworkers Healthcare coverage is really good at least last I knew

Cons

In the past few years they have ended almost every unique benefit to working at Code.org over other EdTech companies/non-profits. Just work at one of those. Leadership slashes entire teams and crucial roles. Claiming they're no longer relevant/needed, laying off team members without a chance at working on another team or anything. And then replaces the roles with ever-so-slightly different openings within 6 months. When leaders make mistakes subordinates take the fall while leaders get "learning opportunities". Worklife balance does NOT exist Criticism are taken personally by leaders and then they guilt you for making them feel bad instead of doing anything about the problem

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed your coworkers and appreciated our healthcare benefits. We continue to offer fully sponsored health plans and recently increased our sick day policy to 10 per year, allowing team members to take more time to care for themselves and loved ones. We are very sorry to hear about the challenges you faced, particularly around restructuring. While these difficult decisions are made for the organization’s health, we know the experience is tough on everyone involved. While we do our best to handle them with the utmost kindness, respect, and dignity, we know the experience is life-changing. It’s especially hard when no role match is available within the organization. We continue to support interested team members in finding their next role, especially if a restructuring has impacted them. It’s important to monitor Work-life balance as a remote company. While our last engagement survey results show we over-indexed in this area, things may have changed as we sunset our Summer Friday program. We are eager to check in on our team’s experience via our current engagement survey. We encourage any active team members who may be struggling with this to speak to their manager, People Business Partner or raise in a skip-level meeting. Leadership accountability is crucial, and we’re committed to ensuring everyone owns their actions. We encourage you to contact our People & Culture team if you're open to discussing your experience further. We’d love to understand what went wrong here. We are always striving to improve. Thanks again for being part of Code.org and for your feedback.
