Toxic Place to Volunteer - Recensione dipendente - Chapter Board Member presso ISACA

* PEOPLE-FOCUSED: Genuinely prioritizes staff. Has the benefits of a mostly remote workforce, and still has a strong sense of connection and collaboration. * TRANSPARENCY: Culture of open communication and transparency across all levels of the organization, making you feel informed and valued. * PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Investment in staff growth through substantial internal learning offerings, and dedicated professional resource budgets. * VISION: Projects are truly future-focused, consistently pushing the organization to stay ahead of the curve. Management backs this up by making tangible investments in both people and systems to support that strategic growth. * EMPOWERED TO INNOVATE: Getting to work alongside amazing team members and peers is incredibly rewarding. There is opportunity to suggest new ideas and drive meaningful change.

* PRIORITIZATION: With so much growth and forward-focused initiatives, new projects tend to get added onto existing workloads. More formalized, structured prioritization processes to help teams balance current responsibilities alongside new innovations would be helpful.

The best part about working at ISACA? The people. From the members and employees around the world, to the volunteers - everyone is very passionate about the work they do, the community they serve, and each other. I've never seen a more tight-knit group in my career. ISACA offers competitive benefits to employees including an annual professional development stipend which aligns with the organization's mission of empowering individuals through learning. Aside from that, if employees are open to it, there are many opportunities for stretch assignments, I've always told my peers that if I had been at another company, it would have taken me 5 years to learn all the skills I've learned at ISACA within my first year. I've also been very fortunate to have reported to the best managers who have been good communicators, and great at giving and receiving feedback. Overall, I've had a great experience at ISACA and it has always been a place that I would consider a great place to work.

ISACA operates more like a startup vs a traditional non-profit, IMO. This means that for someone to thrive here, you have to be comfortable with change and be nimble. I also think that ISACA grew too fast in the last few years and have been experiencing growing pains, with another layer of complexity with the employee population expanding globally. I can see that leadership is trying to manage this by improving communication and transparency through town halls, in-person events, newsletters, and other platforms but this remains a huge opportunity.
