Terrible senior management - Organizer bei Empower Project: Mitarbeiterbewertung

- Clear dedication to the mission - The leadership has a ton of experience in organizing and politics and actually cares about employees - Empower tries to make change by getting people to actually talk to each other rather than just spamming texts and emails - The engineers and the political folks at the organization collaborate a lot - The engineering team gets a ton done -- we don't have much bureaucracy, so most features take days or weeks rather than months.

Working with the seasonality of the political cycle is hard

Would admit they make mistakes

I would not recommend this organization for employees seeking strong management support, clear communication, or a healthy workplace culture. During my time there, priorities and expectations frequently shifted, often with inconsistent direction from different levels of leadership. This created confusion and made it difficult to execute work effectively. I also experienced a lack of structured onboarding, training, and regular feedback. Requests for clarification or support were often unanswered, which contributed to an environment that felt disorganized and high-pressure. In my experience, leadership styles at times came across as dismissive or overly critical, and concerns about workplace culture did not appear to be addressed in a meaningful way. Employees considering this organization should be prepared for a fast-paced environment with limited management support and frequently changing expectations.
