Great mission, sometimes needs help with execution - Anonymous employee Sama Employee Review

Thanks for this candid and thoughtful feedback (especially about the comp, as we're doing all we can do make it competitive for a non-profit). Your view on prioritization is spot-on. This isn't always visible to employees, but in the past we've been dragged in different directions based on funding availability -- grants are often won by pitching new ideas as funders are reluctant to fund core operating costs. We've shifted things around considerably in our fundraising strategy to try to move away from this, but it affects nonprofits all the time and is one of the major challenges in getting to scale. Finally, we are making some organizational changes in the coming months that will focus us a lot more. I look forward to seeing how you feel about this in six months.
