Community Science is a unique company that combines a social mission and ethics with impressive private sector efficiency. For Managing Associates there are ample opportunities to develop new and diverse skills; practice and hone research, facilitation and analytic skills; and receive top-quality mentorship and coaching from experienced senior staff. The leadership team cares about theory as well as practice, and upholds models of evidence-based practice and organizational learning throughout the company’s work. Community Science leaders also value high quality of research, client relationships and deliverables in implementing projects. Staff members – from leadership to associates – are dedicated, hard-working, and extremely intelligent, as well as current and future thought leaders and overall inspiring people. Community Science also offers competitive salaries and generous fringe benefits. Also, management at Community Science works with staff to provide support and accommodations for addressing personal and family issues and is flexible about working from home as long as deliverables are on time and of high quality. The company cares about employees and does its best to apply its values to the operation of company as well as the work it does.

The personalized management style combined with the 90% billable hours goal for Managing Associates (which has the advantage of increasing efficiency of the company) style leads to a strained and hierarchical culture. The level of collaboration within and across teams, as well as day-to-day communications among staff could be improved.
