Pros
-Kind, smart, funny, creative, and all-around amazing coworkers -Supportive boss and team -Impactful mission of changing lives and providing free education + job placement to people who need it most -Genuine commitment among staff to learning more about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and educating themselves on privilege and whiteness -Flexible working hours
Kontras
-LaunchCode did a lot of work on salary equity. There remains more work to be done, as there is at most organizations, especially in balancing salary of junior staff with that of more senior employees. -Not necessarily a con, but something LC is always working on is how to be successful in markets outside St Louis. This has been a long-term challenge, and can create confusion and uncertainty for staff.
