Good Hearts - Data Validator DFnet Employee Review

Great to work somewhere that is making a difference in the world. Much of the work is in global health and satisfying to know that the work we do behind the scenes helps researchers worldwide.

Many clients are non-profit with tight budgets. This can put stress on resources internally.

Due to insufficient resourcing, it is possible to work on many different types of studies simultaneously. So, there is the ability to learn through experience, in a relatively short time.

Leadership is toxic and burnout is high. There is no appreciation for hard work from leadership, and there are never raises or bonuses given. Managers are overworked and training is often outdated. Data Managers are not informed or adequately trained prior to software changes being released. So there are frequent preventable “crisis” situations that arise; and resolution to problems fall on Data Managers to troubleshoot software bugs. Rather than fostering learning, Data Managers are pressured to squeeze 65 hours of work into 40 hours on a timesheet.
