Vantaggi
I've been at Epic 3 years now and it's been the most intense job I've ever had. It's a start up in every sense of the word: hard work, long hours, dedication, passion and commitment. I wanted to work in philanthropy and I wanted high returns on my work. The pay is not very high and the work hard, so I must be convinced that my impact and Epic's collective impact are much higher than average. Otherwise I might as well have got a 9 to 5 job...! Result? It's awesome. The people are super smart, super kind (goes with the nature of the job), totally selfless and ambitious at the same time. Epic is not for the light hearted but for those who have strong beliefs in the impact of its disruptive approach to philanthropy.
Svantaggi
Very international organisation so you work with people you don't see very often except on Skype. I work too much, but I accept it since it's a start up. Haven't yet met someone who created a new business and told me it was a doodle.
