Geschäftsprognose
Pros
- Health insurance is fully paid for by Wikimedia, even for dependents.
- HSA is almost fully funded by Wikimedia to IRS maximum amounts.
- 4% 401k match.
- People are very friendly and the culture is very positive.
- Remote first workplace.
Kontras
- Wikimedia LOVES meetings. We have meetings about meetings. Way too many meetings compared to industry standard.
- Understaffed and under budgeted. Teams are asked to do more with less. We operate like a tech company, but without the budget due to being a non-profit. We're asked to meet specific initiatives, but also cut costs. Those two things do not always coincide.
- People can get away with not working on par with the rest of their team/colleagues. Some junior level employees don't always try their hardest to learn and grow and instead escalate to senior level employees even though it may be a very junior level task.
- Work life balance could be better. Sometimes I'm contacted outside of working hours.
- Sick time and vacation time is very limited. Having a family you can run out of sick time very quickly when you need to take off to take car of others and yourself.
- Low pay compared to industry standard or other tech comapnies.
