6yThanks for taking the time to leave a review. I agree that the talent here is outstanding and this is one of the most energizing places I’ve ever worked as well. Thanks for noting those aspects of our work.
I’m struggling on other aspects of your review because while they definitely sting, they don’t align with what I see here and don’t match our data. One example – our turnover rate is under 10%.
In my experience, there is joy, laughter and caring across our teams and culture. I’m sorry that wasn’t your experience.
You mention the entrepreneurship team and here’s what I see on that front. I see a team that’s doing some of our most practical – and powerful – work yet. Whether that’s the applied research that puts data in the hands of people who need it most, the work in the heartland to support more thriving and inclusive economies or America’s New Business Plan– I see passion, expertise and a commitment to partnering with communities to increase opportunities for all people to take risks and own their success.
I’m happy to talk any of this through and welcome an opportunity to better understand your perspective. Kathleen Boyle Dalen
