Pros

Flexibility, benefits, fair pay, promoting from within, meaningful work, good culture, people who care.

Cons

Job security is somewhat variable because it depends on funding, which has big swings. Meeting practices could be improved.

Pros

people in my region were nice to work with

Cons

they talk a lot about good work culture and openness from the higher ups but then turned around and laid off 20% of their staff on a random friday with absolutely no notice. they restructured the entire company which supposedly they've been planning since february of this year. they laid off valuable employees who worked at this company for 15+ years!!!!! with zero remorse and sympathy.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry for the experience you’ve had and for the difficult circumstances surrounding the recent layoffs. As many know, GRID Alternatives was heavily impacted by an unexpected withdrawal of funding, which significantly affected our operations. Because of this sudden change, we were faced with the incredibly difficult decision to reduce staff. We understand how challenging this has been for everyone involved, and we want to express our sincere appreciation for your contributions to GRID Alternatives. We provided a severance package and ongoing outplacement services to support our laid-off staff during this transition. We are here for you in the aftermath. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to support you during this difficult time and can be reached at hr@gridalternatives.org. Wishing you the best.
