Pros

The people make this place! They want to see their employees fulfilled at work and do everything they can to support their staff.

Cons

WestEd could use some work in how they manage their human resources. Colleagues of mine weren't properly utilized as they faced reductions in work while the company was still hiring for similar roles

Pros

1. Some very good, dedicated people. 2. Solid benefits package. 3. Remote work is okay if that's what you are into, as it provides flexibility depending on your manager.

Cons

1. Many people for whom the mission and values hold no real meaning or value have helped foment a toxic workplace environment, unfortunately, following the lead of the CEO and ELT. 2. The leadership team lacked the ability or willingness to make decisions following changes even a blind man could see following the recent POTUS election result. It did not appear that anyone took the time to prepare for what was next in a manner that reflected the spirit and legacy built up over the previous decades. 3. Poor HR leadership - I observed unprofessional behavior from various members of this group, top to bottom, with consistency. I test drove an issue with someone outside of the HR Leadership/management chain because of a mutual connection who directed me to them. They gave me very good counsel and helped me adjust my approach. Unfortunately, I received a response upon making my issue known that blamed me for the unwelcome actions I was bringing forward.
