Pros

Working with the students, volunteers and the team was extremely rewarding. After every training it feels like you have really accomplished something. The students are excited and thankful for the opportunity.  The team is small which allowed me to gain a lot of experience in several areas and further develop my professional skills.  I did not realize until after I left CodeNow how much I gained from the experience from understanding the technology field to being able to take greater ownership of my work.

Cons

Because the organization is really mission driven the pace can be tiring at times.

Pros

As most reviews have mentioned, the workshops are the highlight of working here. Watching students with no prior programming background write their first line of code is extremely rewarding not just for students but staff as well. Having students genuinely see computer programming as a viable path is very rewarding. CodeNow is not your typical non-profit and thats a good thing.At CodeNow employees get the opportunity to see how the company functions. Employees are not pigeoned to just their main responsibilities and are encouraged to explore what their colleagues are working on and assist where they can. Not many companies can attest to that. Employees get to truly see how interconnected they all are. Management is open to ideas and frequently encourages feedback from employees. This feedback mechanism creates a very welcoming environment as employees are free to discus concerns with management without fear.

Cons

Working here can be psychologically taxing at times. Given the small number of people on the team and the amount of work that needs to be done, it is a constant struggle for balance. Management does its best to alleviate stress for employees but there is still alot of work
