Vantaggi

The people and charities that raise money on the site are doing some really incredible and inspiring things. It feels good to be a small part of that, helping people.

Svantaggi

Pretty much everything else. Lack of direction, terrible company culture, HR support non-existent, huge staff turnover, infighting, management who are completely ill-suited to their roles and are holding on for as long as they can get away with it, and morale that seems to be plummeting to new lows on a weekly basis make it hard to see how the company will bounce back. US-owners have little to no interest in the company's mission or culture, having bought at an inflated price with their main focus selling software solutions to charities in the UK. Work on innovative and exciting tech to help the charity world has been replaced with stale and mundane tasks, developers are voting with their feet as people have mentioned in other reviews. Most teams are in panic stations with unreasonable goals, and terribly under-resourced for what they are expected to deliver. The result is a really unpleasant blame-culture, that is far removed from what the company used to be like, when inevitably projects are not delivered on time or successfully and when results don't line up with projections. It's really sad what's happened with JustGiving, as prior to the takeover it was a really rewarding place to work. It wasn't without fault for sure, but I'd say it was an above-average tech company with an excellent pool of talented employees. Unfortunately, many of them left and those left behind have been let down badly by the new owners and the individuals they placed in charge in management.

Vantaggi

I worked for the U.S. operations (prior to its sale), which meant I had the opportunity to visit the UK office on several occasions and work with many team members. Here are some of the reasons I loved it: -- JG is the pioneer in online fundraising. They have been doing this since before it was fashionable, before the majority of people realized it was a brilliant idea. -- Zarine is energetic, magnetic, just all around awesome. And she truly believes in the company -- I worked in a role that allowed me to interact with charities, fundraisers, and donors. It was such a privilege! I learned so much, and was able to help these great causes raise money. How cool is that? -- Everyone has a voice. We were encouraged to speak up, have an opinion, be bold.

Svantaggi

The senior management team really pushes the idea that the company is flat, but *they* have titles and senior roles and therefore don't always understand how hard it can be to be a mentor to more junior hires, and yet not have structure. This lack of structure also means there isn't necessarily a clear career path. For some, that's a deal breaker. It wasn't for me.

Vantaggi

JustGiving has done amazing work in the UK over the past 17 years. They were recently acquired by Blackbaud which has been described as the Death Star. We'll see how the transition goes or if they'll be able to keep their independence.

Svantaggi

JustGive was acquired by JustGiving and my leadership role was eliminated. I was pushed into business development but not given the resources I needed to succeed.
