Build Change reviews

Working at Build Change will drain you. There’s deep mistrust of staff even if you work hard. Favoritism runs rampant. Boils down to whether CEO likes you. This feeds into a culture of fear provoked by leadership and carried out by those in the inner circle. Same two executives closest to the CEO get promoted often (check track record). Expressing one’s opinions or appearing to want change to antiquated ways will get you blackballed or ousted. Turnover amongst POC over the past 2 years is alarming. Build Change goes against what its name states.

The CEO is incredibly condescending and seems to have little to no consideration for the individuals she works with. I hope this has changed since my time with them, but there were many last-minute projects thrown at exec team members and an overall lack of empathy for those individuals. Rather than allowing opportunities to acknowledge achievements of team members, encourage a collaborative and supportive environment, there was 0 initiative to implement any sort of team culture here.
