Vantaggi

Some pros of working at JustGiving (tech department): - Self-managed culture, very light management touch. - Smart people who will not waste your time, while understanding that we're all learning together. - You can use whatever technology you like, as long as you can convince your peers of its value. - Meritocratic - code wins over opinions. - A progressive stance towards new technology options and software delivery practices. - Great benefits, helpful expense procedure. Overall, a very satisfying place to be a software developer if you love your craft, rather than the politics.

Svantaggi

This is a self-managed environment: you have to take responsibility to understand your role in the context of the business and make some magic happen. This does not suit some people who prefer to not to figure things out and rather just take instruction, who will then criticise this environment as 'lacking in management'. JustGiving suits entrepreneurial people.

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.

JustGiving exists exclusively to help charities raise more money, by connecting them to people who care. By joining Blackbaud, JustGiving will be able to serve its customers and users even better for years to come, and generally fulfill the company’s mission to grow the world of giving, faster and at greater scale.
