Vantaggi

I loved working at Code.org. It combines the best part of a tech company with an education non-profit. Unlike many non-profits, we had a full engineering team; high-quality engineering processes; and we had the agility and funding to move quickly. This, combined with excellent curriculum designers, PD creators, etc. meant that a small team could have a worldwide impact. At the same time, unlike my experience in tech, the atmosphere was extremely collaborative. My coworkers were there for the mission and were extremely supportive of one another. The managers and CEO are hard-working and mission-driven as well. They are honest, transparent, and practical. We couldn't always do everything we'd all want to do, but I could trust them personally and professionally.

Svantaggi

The organization moves fast and has been successful by pivoting to take advantage of opportunities. If you value consistency/stability more than agility, this may not be the right fit.

We are overjoyed to read your feedback and experience working at Code.org. We love our mission and how people from so many different disciplines can come together and collaborate on furthering such a worthy cause and have worldwide impact. Our people are what make us tick, and agree that we have some of the most supportive, hardworking, and collaborative team members one could wish for. It is a fair observation that we can sometimes move fast to take advantage of opportunities in front of us, which can take some getting used to for some. If any current team members are experiencing related challenges, we encourage you to speak to your manager or our new Senior People Business Partner. We appreciate the time you spent with us, and thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for the many years you spent with us. We’re glad the mission and sense of community stood out - those are things we care deeply about and work hard to maintain. We take your feedback on clarity and direction seriously. Setting clear, consistent priorities and ensuring teams understand how to execute against them is critical. When direction feels like it’s shifting or lacks specificity, it creates real challenges, and that’s not something we take lightly. While we have planning and alignment processes in place, what matters is that they translate into clear, actionable goals for every team. We know that doesn’t always happen consistently today, and that gap impacts how people experience their work day to day. We’re actively raising the bar on how we communicate priorities, measure progress, and hold ourselves accountable for delivering focus and consistency across the organization. We wish you all the best in what’s next, and thank you again for the time and care you gave to this work.

Vantaggi

Feels good to work toward education of underserved communities

Svantaggi

Increasingly corporate. Its been taken over by the executive/hr class who, having no experience as engineers or educators, have little discernment between useful work and make work. It’s frustrating to not be able to pursue the mission. Its sad because the code.org I joined was excellent, produced high value curriculum, and was far more efficient than the corporatacracy that has grown in its place.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for your many years of dedication to our mission. We deeply value the passion, expertise, and institutional knowledge of the team members who’ve helped build Code.org into what it is today. As our organization has grown, we’ve worked hard to preserve the spirit of our early days while building the structure and scale needed to sustain a global mission. We believe strong leadership comes from a diversity of roles and experiences, across engineering, education, and beyond, which strengthens our ability to serve students and teachers worldwide. This diversity isn’t a replacement for what made Code.org great; it’s an evolution of it. Many of our leaders started out in different roles, and we’re proud of how often we’ve been able to promote from within. At the same time, as a small nonprofit, growth sometimes looks different here. We know not every development opportunity takes the form of a new title and we believe the most meaningful growth comes from the impact we create together, helping millions of students and teachers discover the power of AI and computer science. Empowering doers and educators has always been at the heart of our culture, and our organizational principles are designed to ensure that spirit continues to thrive as we evolve. If anyone feels their contributions aren’t being fully valued, we want to understand why. We encourage open, direct dialogue with managers, our VP of Engineering, or our People team so we can keep improving and ensure Code.org remains a great place to do meaningful work. Thank you again for your continued commitment to expanding access to computer science and AI education for every student.
