Pros
- Isto is absolutely fantastic. He is one of the most engaged leaders I have worked for. He genuinely cares from the bottom of his heart about the well being of his students and even more so for his staff. We had weekly 1x1s which were not only just about how we were doing work wise, but also just general life updates.
- Suggestions were taken seriously and even up to a national level. Saw changes I suggested being put into place while I was still working there.
- Super fulfilling working with students and watching them develop over 3 monthsCons
- None that I can think of
Advice to Management
KEEP BEING AMAZING

Pros
Flexible time off, snacks, nice facility.
Cons
Higher up staff (not executives) are always complaining to the lowest person or the totem pole. Completely disorganized, EDU program is crumbling to pieces.
Advice to Management
Stop making up reasons to fire hard working employees.

Working in a co-working space allows me to meet numerous people with dynamic backgrounds; networking and working at the same time. There are also amazingly talented and vibrant people who work for galvanize who are astoundingly inspirational, great to learn from and fun to connect with...but, then there are the cons:
Cons
1. Those who are talented are not retained or provided any tools for growth...they either leave or are let go
2. In the 10 years working in my field ranging across MANY different work environments and positions, I have never seen such poor leadership in my career, until working here.
Leadership changes constantly and it actually seems to just keep getting more poisonous.
3. Numerous employees have never been reviewed nor given a raise...even after years of being employed.
4. Lack of process, lack of strategy, lack of direction, lack of soul.Advice to Management
In my experience, management would not take into account one word of advice, unfortunately.

Pros
Great opportunity to dive in and make a difference. Lots of room to create your own path of success. Great people, programs and facilities. Upside and teams are great! All new leadership has been so helpful and is impacting an already unique and fun culture. People are passionate here!
Cons
Its always tough adjusting to all new Exec. leadership & change, but we are on the right path to success. I will say tech boot camps are so competitive now which makes it more challenging than when we began 6 years ago.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing! The future is bright.

Galvanize used to care about education and community. I understand that it is a business, but we have discarded our original values in a panic in the interest of turning a profit, at the expense of losing everything we started out to do. HR is a huge mistake, but it will make us money, so that's what we're doing.
