Svantaggi
Onboarding needs to include working with team that you're entering. It was just a week of meeting with no tangible connection to the work I would actually end up doing. New Employee Orientation is happening over 90 days after I started, after my 90 day review. That needs to happen way faster. Being new at Community Change is challenging to navigate. It a dynamic org with lots of moving parts and various sub cultures. That can make it VERY challenging to get things done, and the lack of responsiveness without accountability is WILD. Staff should keep in mind that everyone won't adapt to the specific culture here with ease. Very meeting heavy culture. Make it's hard to get work done. Accountability accumulates around one person/role without being shared fairly. Example: Someone hands in a document late and they get dinged for it, even though several other people who needed to provide input were themselves late. If you're introverted or have sensory, neurological issues, I'd not recommend you work here. You're expected to be social in ways that may prove challenging and it will reflect poorly on you if you aren't. There's open office spaces with few places to stow away if you need quiet to get work done. The hiring process tends to be long, winding, and unfair.
