Great Mission, Disorganized Leadership

Area director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The mission of the org is admirable. The people are kind and fun to be around. Camp is fun for kids and the perk of sending your own kids is awesome.

Cons

Burn out is rampant. People are tasked with too much. There is a bit of toxic positivity. At all hands meetings there is a lot of celebrating without an authentic look at the cost of those victories. There have been some significant company changes without thinking about implementation and how it affects all the stakeholders.

Review for working at headquarters

Regional director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) Most people working at the camp level are there because they are passionate about the mission and culture. 2) We run great camps. 3) After working here for 13 summers and 4 years in HQ, this organization made a huge positive impact on me, professionally and personally.

Cons

At one point in time, I thought Galileo could do no wrong. In the four years that I have worked at headquarters, there has been significant cultural change that has trickled down from the top. It's painful to watch the ways we've gotten worse. This is especially due to change in leadership, specifically in the Field Team. In a place that once embraced play, inclusion, and a people-first mindset, it has been heartbreaking to see a lack of perspective, empathy, and a corporate approach to the way teams are treated. It does not bode well for success at the camp level, given how much success relies on the people and retention.

Pros

You meet great people during the summer

Cons

I really was for Galileo, until realizing how much of a money sucker they are after they lost tons of money. Project have deflated, management is terrible, HQ people don’t take accountability for their actions, all they care about is the money and not you.
