TNTP Reviews

Cons

The ambiguity of the job at times can be frustrating. I was often not sure about my roles because it changed frequently.

Cons

Work life balance is pretty non existent. Sure, you can leave in the middle of the day to go pick up your kids from school, as long as you're back online, killing yourself until 10 PM and back online at 5 or 6 AM

Cons

TNTP works on a contract-to-contract basis. Unfortunately, the contract I am working on may expire at the end of the year.

Cons

long hours w mediocre pay, hierarchical structure, too many meetings, little personal flexibility/individuality. Folks here were a little cult-like in following the organization, and the people "at the top" seemed very pleased with themselves for reaching those ranks - like "you can get here too if you really drink the cool aid." because there was such a focus on mission and the "way," you didn't have any room for your own projects or to interpret the way you wanted to handle things your own way, which got frustarting at times. It was like "if you don't like how the bus is being driven, get off the bus."

Cons

Hours at times
Variation across team cultures

Cons

- Virtual culture - I enjoyed working remotely, but onboarding and building friendships takes longer outside a traditional office
- Travel - Most roles at TNTP require a fair amount of travel, and that can be tough for some folks

Cons

work life balance is a significant challenge

Cons

Worksite vary - some people work virtually and others are embedded in school districts.

Cons

- Experience can be very manager specific; not all managers (direct or indirect) are effective at advocating for staff and setting them up for success, even if they themselves are effective at their jobs
- Organization has been at a turning point for years and mission feels murky to all but those in leadership

Cons

Talks a lot about diversity, equity and inclusion but does not practice what it preaches in the workplace. Some people are valued more than others and it will show come promotion time. If you're not a certain type of person, you will not advance, regardless of your performance. Internal survey results of the last 2 years show this but management is more concerned about trying to fool its employees into thinking they're doing something about it when they're actually not. Most employees can see right through this which is why the same issue comes up survey after survey. It is no wonder so many people have left in the last year; TNTP is on a serious decline.
