They Care - Recensione dipendente - Educational Surrogate Parent presso Epic Foundation

Dynamic team that cares a lot about what they do, but still new and small so you have responsibility, creative freedom, and are able to interact with everyone on the Epic team. I felt very well taken care of yet was happy with the independence and trust given to me - I was able to talk to influential people and take the lead on a few projects where I felt my ideas were listened to and implemented - Good cause and people who care a lot about it - Great leadership who want to push you and are welcoming - Interesting work that you have control over

It is still a startup so can be chaotic and last-minute, however I felt that they put a LOT of work into fixing this when I was there - Can be chaotic sometimes - Depending on what kind of worker you are: startup environment with responsibility and self-led projects

Really appreciate the thoughtfulness of the approach around philanthropy. It brings a fresh perspective to a field that often lacks capacity to reinvent itself. The management is very supportive of testing new ideas. The motto is pretty much along the lines of “test, succeed and/or learn and move fast”. It’s definitely a start-up environment so you have to be willing and ready to work in a fast paced environment and be nimble enough to adapt to shifting focuses and strategies. That’s what makes it interesting but you have to be looking for that because it’s definitely not the hyper structured routine kind of job. For people who are entrepreneurial, looking to grow, be challenged and get out of their comfort zone I would highly recommend it. Every day is different and I think that’s what the teams appreciates. Everyone in the team is super smart, always ready to take time to share insights and feedback even across different offices, time zones… There is a pretty open line of communication with the management and founder and there is always room to voice an opinion (although the team is pretty opinionated so be ready to come with arguments!)

It’s a growing team with a big ambition so it’s definitely a challenge to figure out work/life balance especially in a team with super passionate people who never count their hours. Working across different time zones with a lot of people working remotely can also make it a little challenging on the team building side but they are definitely working on improving that.
