good org - Administrative Amazon Watch Employee Review

This organization has adopted some of the most progressive and supportive policies for its staff of any I know of. They offer fully paid family health benefits, retirement plan, 3 weeks, then 4 weeks and then 5 weeks vacation. Many holidays. Work from home flexibility including support for home offices, a 12 week paid sabbatical every five years, and even a wellness fund for staff. Most importantly they pay in the top 25th percentile (meaning better than the bottom 3 quarters of similar size and focused organizations in their area.

It can be a challenge for staff to manage in a quickly growing organization with an urgent mission.

Amazon Watch has an incredible amount of dedication to its goals. I've seen it grow and change over a few years, and the thing that keeps it going is a drive to actualize real change for the people who live in the Amazon rainforest.

At times, the lean and scrappy approach can lead to disorganization, but it's in the spirit of good work. You may need to take organization into your own hands in order to get the work environment that you want.
