Pros

The non-leadership individuals in charge of getting stuff done, are well-intentioned and hard working.

Cons

- Leadership team has no say or power when it comes to the CEO and Marketing team. - Most of the leadership team is here for their own legacy and ego. - Waste tax payers money on programming and solutions that have not been vetted or given the time to be developed properly - Zero organizational identity and understanding of what Communitech does - Exhaustive CSO salary spent on developing a "Strategy" that was identical to the one being executed on for years prior. - CEO aggressively uses public funds to fly and spend on hotels that are not aligned with Communitech strategy, despite concerns being raised by other members of the leadership team. - Despite program and product teams fighting for resourcing and funds, Marketing team is given a blank cheque and full authority to do whatever they wish without consequence. - Culture and perks are used as a weapon to support low-pay and compensation. Clauses in employment agreements require you to also, at whim, volunteer for events and other things happening. Without concern for the individuals workload and deadlines.

Pros

A really great collections of creative and kind people. Very unique in the experience it provides. I think it's a side effect of the nature of their objectives and funding.

Cons

The silo structure and disparate groups and teams made it difficult to corral people at times and identify decision makers and structure.
