      Pros

      I love working at Code.org. Code.org has a great mission and it's incredible how much progress we've made towards our goal of giving more students the opportunity to learn CS. Some of my favorite things about working here: - The culture here is very collaborative. Everyone is always very willing to help out one another. It also helps that we're all working towards the same mission. - Because we are a small product/engineering team, everyone has a lot more scope than they generally would in a bigger company. - There isn't a ton of process, which lets us complete our work more efficiently. - Code.org has a pretty flexible work from home policy and offers good work/life balance. - We actually get opportunities to meet/interact with our users, through classroom visits, online forums, and calls. - Our management is great and is very open to feedback.

      Cons

      Being a non-profit, Code.org doesn't offer all the same benefits and perks you may find at a larger company like Microsoft, Facebook, etc. But the pay is still very competitive.

      Pros

      Upbeat, team environment where everyone strives to do their best in a mission driven environment. Benefits are outstanding compared to most non-profits. Leadership is transparent and eager to interact with employees at all levels.

      Cons

      Work life balance can be hard to achieve if you want to make a good impression.

      High impact, fast-paced workplace with culture of caring

      Pros

      Lots of high caliber coworkers. Work life balance is great here, but also you are in a fast-paced environment, with lofty goals (that the company usually achieves) that has changed the education space significantly. The work is interesting and you can learn a lot about how to build impactful and successful products. There is very little bureaucracy - it's easy to get things done quickly. The management team genuinely cares about the employees and spends a lot of time supporting the culture and being flexible to meet folks' needs. One unique thing about working here is that everyone is here to help make the world better - so the culture is very collaborative, not at all competitive and folks are always willing to help each other out. Compensation is reasonable (really good for a non-profit) and competitive for smaller non-public tech companies. And it can be super fun to work on a product that kids and teachers absolutely love!

      Cons

      It's hard to work in the education space, with a mission that focuses on equity in computer science, without also needing to deal with the divisiveness of our political system. If you don't want to deal with politics in the workplace, this may not be the place for you. The leadership holds strongly onto the north star to make sure the primary focus of bringing CS to all kids is achieved, and I think they do this really well for the most part, but it has caused internal conflict as not everyone agrees with some of the rhetoric. But if you look at the actual product of the company - the affected state policies, the curriculum, the marketing, the videos, the software representation, it's clear that this company is having a massive impact on equity in CS education. This political division may be less of an issue now than it was a year ago as the company has tried to address this.

      Thank you for the flattering review on our impact! Code.org’s mark on the education space is a credit to our hardworking team. We are fortunate to have high caliber, passionate and dedicated team members that do amazing, high impact work every day. We also appreciate your call out that working in the education space means that Code.org is not immune to politics in the United States. Our mission and work are aimed at schools and this intersects with the public sector. We are committed to addressing the challenges that arise from external factors and continuously finding ways to navigate them, together. It’s not always easy but our values and unifying and inclusive approach (click here for more: https://code.org/about/unifying#:~:text=org's%20work%20opposes%20racism%2C%20sexism,not%20to%20take%20this%20approach.) enable us to make significant progress in bringing computer science to students and teachers on a large scale. Thanks again for all of your many years of service in helping us do just that and sharing your experience!
