Impactful job at fast moving non profit with great coworkers

Pros

I loved working at Code.org. It combines the best part of a tech company with an education non-profit. Unlike many non-profits, we had a full engineering team; high-quality engineering processes; and we had the agility and funding to move quickly. This, combined with excellent curriculum designers, PD creators, etc. meant that a small team could have a worldwide impact. At the same time, unlike my experience in tech, the atmosphere was extremely collaborative. My coworkers were there for the mission and were extremely supportive of one another. The managers and CEO are hard-working and mission-driven as well. They are honest, transparent, and practical. We couldn't always do everything we'd all want to do, but I could trust them personally and professionally.

Cons

The organization moves fast and has been successful by pivoting to take advantage of opportunities. If you value consistency/stability more than agility, this may not be the right fit.

We are overjoyed to read your feedback and experience working at Code.org. We love our mission and how people from so many different disciplines can come together and collaborate on furthering such a worthy cause and have worldwide impact. Our people are what make us tick, and agree that we have some of the most supportive, hardworking, and collaborative team members one could wish for. It is a fair observation that we can sometimes move fast to take advantage of opportunities in front of us, which can take some getting used to for some. If any current team members are experiencing related challenges, we encourage you to speak to your manager or our new Senior People Business Partner. We appreciate the time you spent with us, and thank you for sharing your experience.

We appreciate you taking the time to write a review, especially as a long-time team member! Thank you for calling out our generous benefits and work-life balance. We know our team works hard for students and teachers so we have Summer Fridays and two weeks of Winter Break in addition to vacation. By promoting work-life balance, we know we all return to work refreshed and ready to tackle new challenges. We also recognize the challenges of long hours from time to time. If you need support, either to just talk to strategize, please come chat with us or your manager.
