Pros
As a new college graduate, working at wikiHow was my first full-time position, and it has set a high bar! From workplace culture to the variety of projects, wikiHow is a constantly evolving company that puts its employees first. The whole team is intensely curious, supportive, and creative. The small team size means that even in a remote environment you feel connected to your coworkers and are invested in by your manager and wikiHow leadership.
As a Project Manager you get to develop a host of technical and professional skills that will set you up for success in your career. It’s not often that you have the opportunity to own a project after just a few months of working on a team, but at wikiHow you are encouraged to step into leadership roles and see the direct impact of the work you are doing.
My favorite part about working here was that people are so quick to give credit where credit is due. Everyone wants to boost each other up and make sure that you are acknowledged and celebrated for the work you are doing. I can’t speak more highly about wikiHow’s culture and believe that it’s a phenomenal place for young adults to start their professional career.
Growth opportunities for Project Managers:
- Learning to design a process from start to finish with minimal direction
- Managing contractor relationships and assignments
- Documenting and operationalizing a project
- Proactively making mission-driven decisions
- Setting goals and designing quarterly plans to meet them
Cons
wikiHow is a small company, a mighty team of 30! I loved this environment and the team flexibility it offered. wikiHow might not be the right match for those who prefer working in a more rigid company structure
