GiveCampus reviews

where to start - management is a mess. true clash of people who joined for the mission and constant drumbeat of profit above all else. the ego at the top is getting in the way of the company doing better, and have witnessed belittling of colleagues and managers who gossip.

So I’ve outlined why one might want to work for GiveCampus. Here are the downsides: - Leadership is single-minded to a fault. This originates from the CEO and trickles down to all corners of the business. As written above, depending on your priorities this might not be a con. However, while a ruthlessly growth-driven perspective may be attractive to some, I’ve seen a healthy desire to succeed devolve into pettiness and the routine treatment of employees as hosts to be sucked dry. Individuals and teams are made public “examples” of. People dealing with family emergencies have been expected to work through weekends. What makes this worse? - You will be told that this is all for your own benefit and you are lucky to have a job - Lack of focus. There are nine core values and five core operating principles. Many of them are in direct contradiction, e.g. “Do things that don’t scale” vs. “Take the long view.” While there is always a tension between priorities—this is to be expected—this scattershot approach shows up in an uneven product, marketing challenges, and employees being frequently blindsided about not meeting expectations. - Lack of experience. For a significant portion of the management team, this is their first or second rodeo. Stakes are artificially high because managers can’t take things in context. I’ve never seen a leadership team so palpably afraid of their boss. A closing anecdote: I and others have shared this feedback 1:1 with multiple people in positions of power and have consistently been met with, "But you're still here, so it must be OK." Well, I'm not there anymore.
