Avantages

Unfortunately, there was no upside to working here. The mission, which is a good one, is similar to other nonprofits.

Inconvénients

Working for CodeNow goes beyond the usual stress that accompanies a job. The environment was oppressive and psychologically taxing. Management throws you under the bus and reminds you of past mistakes, no matter how minor, often. Treating employees unprofessionally is one thing, but management was occasionally disrespectful to volunteers (who give up entire weekends to make the workshops possible). There is no defense for the way employees are treated here. Several talented and dedicated individuals left the organization due to the atmosphere created by such ruthless management. Based on my experience, the positive reviews seem inauthentic.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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
