WestEd reviews

Thank you for your feedback and honesty. WestEd encourages collaboration between colleagues and we are pleased to know that you recognize and utilize the many talented individuals who work here. Our employees know that our mission is the key to our success, and that providing families and teachers access to education and services is critical to student success. WestEd employees often praise our health and retirement benefits and we are glad to know you agree! We continually strive to provide a comprehensive and generous benefits package. As our employee population has grown, there is a greater focus on infrastructure development and the number of staff committed to that internal support work has also grown. We would love hearing from you and encourage you to share your comments directly to an internal resource, such as your manager, Human Resources, or to Glen Harvey, our CEO, who has an open-door policy.

Thank you for your feedback; we are always happy to hear from our current employees – and thank you for your length of service here. Employees consistently tell Human Resources that our health benefits and 403(b) / 457(b) plans are excellent, and we agree! We also strive to provide a generous PTO policy, including both paid personal time and paid sick time. Our employees know that the mission is the key to our work here, and providing access to education and services for families and teachers are critical to student success. As a non-profit and a quasi-governmental organization, there is fluctuation year over year in terms of funding and contract renewal, so much of our revenue comes from sources that our employees actively seek and apply for. WestEd is proud of our many varied streams of funding, and aims to continue seeking grants and contracts in all areas of education and research. We encourage all employees to discuss their concerns with Glen Harvey using her open-door policy, with their manager and with Human Resources.
