Working at Chan Zuckerberg Initiative in Redwood City, CA: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Redwood City, CA Area

"Great company"

"I love my coworkers and feel like the technical excellence of the engineering team is growing significantly."

"I have worked for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for two exciting years. The company is driven by the heart of Priscilla Chan, the co-founder and she is by far the kindest person I have ever met. The business has suffered from many start-up woes and is still getting its footing, but it's a wonderful place full of amazing people. Some of the best and brightest from Facebook, Google, Netflix, etc. were recruited based on their desire to make an impact. It's a very mission focused company, and it's focus on best in class everything is second to none. Definitely the finest grouping of talent of any organization. CONS: This is not a place for growth and advancement. There is very little professional development support, and promotions are more based on attrition than growth. This has had an impact on retaining top-tier talent, many returns to Facebook or Google after their initial year or two."
