Pros

Community Science is a unique company that combines a social mission and ethics with impressive private sector efficiency. For Managing Associates there are ample opportunities to develop new and diverse skills; practice and hone research, facilitation and analytic skills; and receive top-quality mentorship and coaching from experienced senior staff. The leadership team cares about theory as well as practice, and upholds models of evidence-based practice and organizational learning throughout the company’s work. Community Science leaders also value high quality of research, client relationships and deliverables in implementing projects. Staff members – from leadership to associates – are dedicated, hard-working, and extremely intelligent, as well as current and future thought leaders and overall inspiring people. Community Science also offers competitive salaries and generous fringe benefits. Also, management at Community Science works with staff to provide support and accommodations for addressing personal and family issues and is flexible about working from home as long as deliverables are on time and of high quality. The company cares about employees and does its best to apply its values to the operation of company as well as the work it does.

Kontras

The personalized management style combined with the 90% billable hours goal for Managing Associates (which has the advantage of increasing efficiency of the company) style leads to a strained and hierarchical culture. The level of collaboration within and across teams, as well as day-to-day communications among staff could be improved.

Thanks for the positive review even after you have moved on to hopefully better opportunities. We are trying to do our best to be great in every way and still keep our focus on social justice and strong communities. When you are so passionate about what we do. As you know, we are working to be better and to continue our healthy growth. Part of that healthy growth is to reduce the workload stress. That has been a top priority for the rest of this year for our management team along with improved interaction among our fantastic staff as well as greater engagement in company direction and transparency.

Thank you for your feedback and support of our work. We are only as good as the people who we work with, our community. I feel very lucky that I can work with you and your colleagues. Needless to say it's been a crazy year, but we have been successful together and am looking forward to the great things we can accomplish in 2021. As I've written before, the professional services industry may not be for everyone, but you if you want to be helping to transform government, foundations, and nonprofit organizations cross country-this is a great spot to be in. So many exciting things going on. More advice and great ideas are so appreciated. Thank you again.

Pros

• Work with quality people, carefully selected and trained to ensure quality work; • Able to work and contribute to interesting and meaningful projects that value my training in social science research; • Projects are carefully selected to ensure they are consistent with company values; • Sets the industry standard for corporate social responsibility, from projects selection to the selection of food vendors; • Open access to senior staff that share their wealth of experience and serve as mentors; • Straddles the worlds of philanthropy and Federal consulting, and does it well; • Focus on customer satisfaction, not a “churn-em and burn- em” shop; and • A true commitment to staff learning and continual improvement, great professional development benefits and support from senior staff.

Kontras

As all growing companies tend to experience, staff resources become scarce during peak times of the year like proposal season and the end of the fiscal year. Back-ups are difficult to find which makes it challenging to complete deliverables, write proposals, and keep up-to-date on professional development.

Thank you for taking time to provide your review. I am thrilled to know that you see what we are trying to do come to life. It is very exciting. Our major challenge to improving work-life balance is not our size or growth directly, but the challenge is recruiting more smart, talented, and committed people to our company. We we are doing all we can and have positions opened, so hopefully the positive reviews of you and your colleagues will attract these people and we all will be better for it. Thanks again.
