Using Today's Tech to Move Forward with Compassion's Mission - Software Developer Compassion International Employee Review

Pros

I love the mission of Compassion and feel that most employees are fully engaged with the overall goals of the organization. The leadership and the team that I work with are great. We are using current technologies to build our solutions within IT. Software developers have freedom to learn new concepts and apply them to the problems that are in front of us. It is exciting and satisfying to work on projects that can help other people within Compassion and its programs.

Cons

As a fully remote, newer employee, it has felt hard to get to know people throughout the organization. Everyone is friendly and welcoming (even over Zoom!), but I sometimes wish I could meet more of my co-workers face-to-face. Hopefully there will be opportunity for in-person connections as time goes on.

Pros

Great people... great mission. Incredible to be a part of such a life-changing ministry to some of the most impoverished children in the world.

Cons

Expectations are very high to do so much with relatively little resources.

Pros

Everyone is attracted to the mission, at least at first. There are some exceptional benefits in terms of work flexibility, and an overall sense of making a meaningful impact in lives.

Cons

Things move slowly, and direction is often unclear to the point that staff lose motivation. The organization is undergoing financial stress with no clear remedy, and there are very limited opportunities for growth. It's frustrating to see pet projects get resources while true organizational needs go unattended. The medical insurance offering has been almost worthless, though Compassion tries with a HSA plus-up.
