Vantaggi

I started at SeriousFun within the last year and I regularly tell people who ask that I wish I had made the move to this organization even sooner. I was very cautious and selective when considering leaving my former job, which I loved. Some of the Glassdoor reviews for SeriousFun, as you can see, didn't paint it in the best light. When I began the interview process, it quickly became obvious to me that this was not the organization described by some of the more negative reviews. Still cautious, I was offered and accepted the job here, and I can honestly say that I haven't had a mediocre, nevermind bad, day yet. My colleagues are super bright, they work hard, and they are very passionate about the mission and about helping to maintain and increase the very positive office/organizational culture here. Leadership, especially the CEO (now in his fourth year), is more collaborative, creative and open to feedback than I have experienced at any of my former employers. The issues noted in previous reviews, while perhaps valid to some extent, seem to have been resolved or are on their way to being resolved.

Svantaggi

Not so much a con, but a challenge...SeriousFun is a small nonprofit organization with limited resources. Leadership and staff members must be creative in their approaches to problem-solving, and also be willing and able to wear multiple hats at times. This works well and fits for me and many of my colleagues here, but it is certainly something to think about if you are considering working at SeriousFun.

Lovely people, company growing and evolving as a group. The drive and determination to make this happen is a joy to be part of.

Svantaggi

Not enough time, people or resources - typical for a non-profit!

Vantaggi

It's very close to the metro north

Svantaggi

"Great mission tough culture" review hit it on the head - there is 0 leadership or mentorship, even from the friendly, but woefully overwhelmed new CEO. It is truly remarkable how little guidance this group of experienced non-profiters give the people that they are managing. On top of this, it seems that the true talent lies in the skill sets of the junior employees. There is no transparency, or any kind of a sense of what anyone else is working on and how that is connected to your work. Unless you work on a team that works directly with the camps, you're likely to forget why you are there in the first place. Also stated in the previous review, the culture is severely lacking. Birthday parties with sweets don't translate into camaraderie, and frankly, when coupled with the secrecy, play like subterfuge. Do yourself a favor, don't let the above-average salary and benefits package fool you, move on.
