      Pretty Great

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Small company, great potential, plug away day-by-day.

      Cons

      I was let go and not sure if that was the right decision even though I made some significant contributions. It seemed like they might have benefited from my help, knowledge, and expertise but of course, it is up to them.

      Ops is an afterthought

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      MapLight is full of decent human beings who care a lot about the mission.

      Cons

      The focus at ML is on expanding the engineering team/programs, so everything admin is a bit of an afterthought. There has been a decent amount of turnover in ops with little in the way of solid process creation, so systems are not well organized. Currently, no staff members in decision making positions have an actual background or skillset in operations. What this means for anyone joining Ops is that they will likely have an outsized impact if they are willing to dig in and speak truth to power, which may be a welcome challenge for some, but can be isolating and a source of burnout. I worked at ML for over 2 years and only had one formal review, no raises, no COLA.

We recognize the importance of streamlined processes and systems in order to increase efficiency for staff, and while we have created improvements over the past couple of years, there are still areas we can grow in. We are expanding our Operations role to full-time from part-time to help address this and always welcome collaborative work towards systemic improvements. Thank you again for your feedback.
