Social Impact

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. They taut a big game of culture and people, but at the end of the day, everyone is disposable.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is very little support from "leadership." People have to be their own advocate, because there is very little room to grow.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Suffocating. There is no upward movement. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Kissing my supervisor's behind so that I can try to get put on meaningful projects, since they are so few and far between.

If you are interested in the field of international development and M&E, you will find the work here to be interesting and impact. However, employees have bitter, competitive and nasty attitudes towards each other. Career advancement is limited. Work life balance is limited. Very high turnover rate, as many experienced employees were laid off or quit.

I would work once a week on Saturday mornings. A typical day at work would be to kitchen duty and cleaning up after other and when it was time to circle up which we had done twice a day, there would be a question of the day and everyone would go around and the question. If there wasn't a question their would be a game.

Overall SI was a great place to work. They do great work for a good cause.  The HQ staff however, lacks diversity and doesn't seem to want to change.  Lots of friends working together so the company's culture is driven by 70% white women under 30.

The turnover rate is extremely high! In the department I worked in no one had been there for more than 2 years, which made the department extremely disorganized and made it very difficult to be trained properly.

Management is still not used to thinking like a medium-size company and it shows. But overall a great experience, intelligent and nice colleagues, relaxed office environment, generally a solid company to work for.

The company doesn't provide professional growth in internal operations departments.  Once you get to a certain level you are not able to go any further up no matter what professional develop they provide.

The company is a growing company but there is a disconnect with senior management and other levels of the company. Once they figure out the disconnect and change the culture then it would be a great company to work for.

My experience with Social Impact has been a great one.  Everyone here has been great to work with as well as helpful in all aspects of my job.

Rapid growing and dynamic leading industry where I see the owners every day. Very lucky to have the opportunity to intern here.
