      High pay and vacation overshadowed by weak leadership

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay far above industry average, lots of vacation

      Cons

      Leadership, strategy, relevance. Faith mission casts a long shadow over a lot of organizational sins, leadership inexperience, communication challenges.

      Meaningful mission but slow progress and unclear direction

      Senior data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Everyone is attracted to the mission, at least at first. There are some exceptional benefits in terms of work flexibility, and an overall sense of making a meaningful impact in lives.

      Cons

      Things move slowly, and direction is often unclear to the point that staff lose motivation. The organization is undergoing financial stress with no clear remedy, and there are very limited opportunities for growth. It's frustrating to see pet projects get resources while true organizational needs go unattended. The medical insurance offering has been almost worthless, though Compassion tries with a HSA plus-up.

      A place where you make an impact in spirit and in truth

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very Godly yet also professional environment. High quality in praying and planning at the same time.

      Cons

      A lot of remote colleagues and work involves many time zones, thus it can be disorienting for people used to on-site work.
