Pros

Employees are trusted to manage their own work with a high degree of autonomy, you're given ownership over your responsibilities without unnecessary micromanagement. I feel an ability to achieve work/life balance while still completing my main responsibilities. The work has visible impact on the students and communities being served, which makes the mission come to life. People are generally easy to work with here and are aligned on how we can help each other with our tasks.

Cons

At times, there can be a disconnect between the pace that's expected and the pace that's actually achievable. Moving quickly is sometimes treated as a given, but the internal ability to execute at that speed isn't always in place.

Pros

Flexible hours, generous PTO, remote environment, high pay for this field

Cons

There have been two rounds of layoffs in the last two years, each time eliminating ~25% of FT staff members. There is high turnover amongst the leadership team, which leads to a very disjointed organizational strategy that is becoming more and more apparent each day. There’s little to no transparency on big decisions that are made and for a company that claims to put such high value on employee well-being, they are quick to gloss over the fact that the employee satisfaction scores get lower every year. Please do not let the high scores from current and former tech fellows fool you as they are temporary, part-time employees. The best advice I can give is that if you are currently considering a full-time position, run away as fast as you can.

Toxic Company - Run

Pros

The mission and the students are amazing. That's it.

Cons

This organization has a deeply unhealthy culture. Leadership is far more focused on financial targets than on the well-being of employees, and the environment reflects that. Revenue goals are routinely missed, followed by sudden layoffs that seem to occur every couple of years with little transparency. Work-life balance is virtually nonexistent; long hours are treated as an expectation rather than an exception. Goals often feel disconnected from reality, driven by the CEO’s inflated sense of vision rather than by thoughtful strategy or data. Much of the company’s public image feels performative. Employees who raise concerns or provide candid feedback through internal surveys often don’t remain long afterward, which has created an atmosphere of fear and silence. Morale is low, turnover is constant, and many people leave due to stress and the toll it takes on their mental health. This is not a sustainable or supportive place to build a career. RUN!!
