Passionate staff with great values - Anonymous employee Amazon Watch Employee Review

This organization has adopted some of the most progressive and supportive policies for its staff of any I know of. They offer fully paid family health benefits, retirement plan, 3 weeks, then 4 weeks and then 5 weeks vacation. Many holidays. Work from home flexibility including support for home offices, a 12 week paid sabbatical every five years, and even a wellness fund for staff. Most importantly they pay in the top 25th percentile (meaning better than the bottom 3 quarters of similar size and focused organizations in their area.

It can be a challenge for staff to manage in a quickly growing organization with an urgent mission.

The organization has a lot of dedicated, sweet, and hardworking people. The work environment is generally pretty welcoming and flexible. For folks who have been working there a long time, they obviously really enjoy working there.

I think everyone does mean well, but there is a white savior complex here. No Black or Indigenous people work here, ironically
