Pros

Other than friday snacks and a reachable belltown location none.

Cons

1. People with writing and editing background are doing digital Product Management without having any kind of software/digital product knowledge or subject matter expertise. 2. No transparency at all, some managers are insane and they do not let anybody communicate with their team in or out, they copy paste emails of their team and send it to others. 3. Too much politics and people are super rude. If you are new and have a good experienced background the existing people will get you either fired or change the team because of their own insecurity.

Pros

The only reason you should work here is for the passionate and kind colleagues that are in the trenches with you, and for products that you can stand behind. The organization and the products are truly wonderful. This review is strictly for the sales team, specifically management.

Cons

Despite this being a mental health company, the EPMs suffer greatly despite our years of feedback. Yes, the team will never go back to the glory days but it’s really heartbreaking that there are so many missed opportunities to improve the culture. Sales leaders do not take any accountability and get very defensive - the “recovery” plan is a testament to this. The latest version of the commission structure is extremely disappointing, most of us are making a third of what we used to make despite carrying triple the workload since the layoffs. If you are looking at the open sales positions it is important that you know that none of the managers will make you feel appreciated and will actually recognize your efforts. Do not let them fool you with “we walk the walk of SEL or nonprofit sales” this is a heavily focused numbers and quota driven team that tracks how many calls and emails you send. You will not receive the raises you deserve or a title promotion no matter how hard you work. The managers do not manage up or advocate for you.

Committee for Children Response

As a leader in social-emotional development, we’re committed to prioritizing employee well-being. We actively seek staff input to improve the work experience and know that sometimes we might not get it right. Navigating market changes and shifting roles can be tough, especially during busy times. However, each of us contributes to building and maintaining our team culture. Keeping our finances strong is key to achieving our mission and making a real difference in children’s lives worldwide. While we track metrics to hit our goals, our focus remains on the quality and impact of our work, not just the numbers. Each year, we review our compensation to make sure our pay remains competitive with the market, and we look at equity across different groups to fix any gaps. This year, we rolled out new pay practices and salary bands for more transparency and clearer growth paths. We’re also reviewing our commission structure. We regularly recognize employees for reaching tenure milestones and are committed to making sure everyone feels seen and valued as we keep working to improve our work environment. We take your feedback seriously, and are intent on co-creating a positive culture that aligns with our shared values, where we can collaborate openly, communicate honestly, hold each other accountable, and support one another. Thank you for sharing your perspective and for your continued commitment.
