Avis sur NationBuilder

Avantages

Innovative company that catered to employees personal and professional situations. Focus on culture and team building. Lots of opportunities to engage in diverse projects.

Inconvénients

Long, long hours. Expectation to work long hours. Expectation to live company culture outside, even in personal life. Opportunity for growth with more responsibilty but no pay raise.

Conseils à la direction

Actually take into account staff opinions. Establish realistic goals. Make better financial decisions so not to let go of half of the staff in a several month period.

Avantages

-Women in Leadership -Diversity within the company -Your human needs aren't left to the wayside because of work needs -Room for growth -Office is in a great location with lots of perks -Unlimited PTO, 401k, Can WFH often, good health insurance. -Company that has a good mission that you can easily get behind and feel that you are doing good work on the day-to-day.

Inconvénients

-Culture can be a bit odd at first. Summits are an interesting experience. Can be kind of clique-y. -Promote "just say the thing" yet you can receive backlash for putting that into practice. - Has a tendency to hire a bunch of people and then lay them off. - While they try to listen to your needs as an individual outside of work you can also be judged for not overworking yourself. -Difficult for remote... employees to level up and create relationships with people outside their teams. -Put too much into the story and not enough on the actual product itself. -Must get on leadership's good side in order to stick around.

Conseils à la direction

Don't forget that first and foremost you are a tech company. Put the product first.

Avantages

Free food, free housing for a bit, good product

Inconvénients

Back stabbing culture and weird paranoid CEO. They uproot promising professionals, move them to LA, then fire more than half after promising them multi year contracts and vested options. The CEO let’s people go, but instead of being a man and firing them in person, he watches from afar and let’s his HRminions do the dirty work. This place has literally ruined people’s careers.

Conseils à la direction

Fire CEO and stop yes man culture. We aren’t drones

Avantages

The office is located near a few good lunch spots.

Inconvénients

If you've been hired, congrats. But also, you're not done. The company hires en masse and then fires a significant number of new employees, sometimes within weeks. Of the group of new hires I started with, nearly half were fired at the end of orientation and none lasted more than six months. Employees are overworked and often humiliated by senior staff in the open for performance.

Conseils à la direction

Don't be jerks?

Avantages

I've worked at NationBuilder for about 6 months. It's a tremendous place to work and the staff are the kindest and most thoughtful group of people I've ever met. It's a deliberately developmental organization that invests in its people and provides not just opportunities but encouragement to grow. There's been a leadership transition (bigger than new CEO) that's elevated an incredibly talented group of new... executives to senior leadership from both inside and outside the org over the last two years.

Inconvénients

There's some standard mature stage startup issues, like tech debt and product direction questions that people are focused on fixing but aren't fixed and they need to be.

Conseils à la direction

Stay focused on the core product.

Avantages

Free snacks, remote work, competitive pay

Inconvénients

Poor management, lack in funding, no job stability

Conseils à la direction

So apparently this company is a fraud. They have funding issues and your stability in the job is highly unlikely. First the hire you on a contract basis, where the fail to make payments on timely manner( your checks will always be late). Then they insult you before they feel like they need to let you go. This confuses the employee because none of the accusations make sense. Finally, they apologize by calling this... whole situation a mere mis-understanding, and letting you go. And yes i am still waiting for the last two checks and its been a month. Please don’t waste your time especially if you are being hired on a contract basis and you are coming from another state. For the company i would say- work on your management skills, and definitely don’t recruit people if you are going to outsource your jobs due to lack in funding.

Avantages

NationBuilder takes the company mission very seriously, and staff are very committed to pursuit of the mission and vision. Company Leadership prioritize culture, values and community which makes for a great working environment. Encouraging of ideas from all levels of the company

Inconvénients

The culture is not for everyone.

Conseils à la direction

As the company scales and grows, making sure to keep an eye towards the mission and vision can be tricky.

Avantages

Incredibly modern work environment with great amenities Strong mission Competitive salary, compensation and benefits Flexible

Inconvénients

For a company that promotes leadership, everyone being a creator, inclusivity and freedom they sure do not practice it. The incompetence of the leadership team is unlike anything I have ever experienced. They do not at all care about their employees needs or well-being and there is no loyalty which results in a tense work environment. The staff is mostly comprised of talented, well-meaning people but they are given... the opportunity to help the company succeed. The HR team is ill-equipped and unprofessional and one of the greatest offenders of the elements that create this unwelcoming, unprofessional environment.

Conseils à la direction

Practice what you preach. Re-evaluate your HR team (especially its leadership). Hold yourself as accountable as you do your employees.
