Avoid at all costs - Community Outreach Kickstarter Employee Review

I’ve really enjoyed working here and believe it’s a genuinely good company—especially for those who’ve joined in the last few years. Leadership is thoughtful, benefits are strong, and the mission still feels authentic. There’s space to grow, take ownership, and make an impact if you’re proactive. That said, the internal culture is being dragged down by a minority (the union) that resists change and refuses to take accountability. A lot of the toxicity comes from legacy employees who constantly complain but contribute very little. Unfortunately, the union culture can amplify this energy. It’s disappointing because many of the people who’ve joined more recently are energized and committed. But the influence of a few long-timers who seem to want the company to fail makes it harder for everyone else to enjoy the workplace. This company could thrive even more if it were willing to part ways with those who are no longer aligned. Until then, expect a mix of strong leadership and potential, weighed down by a group determined to stay stuck in the past.

The union dynamics, its a distraction for those of us who want to enjoy our work and be apart of something. The CBA limits salary increases.

- Smart, diverse, supportive colleagues - Laid back and informal company culture (while still high expectations of employees) - Very cool product to work on - You’re helping creators fulfill their dreams - Part of a tech union! Amazing support there

- A lot of back and forth from leadership on priorities - Tension and lack of trust between leadership and employees
