ActBlue Employee Reviews

I have worked here for years, and my starting pay was terrible but my experience was so much better. This is a job that the pay (which is very good) barely makes up for the stress. Our executive team needs badly to take accountability for their failures and address the burnout at this org.

fun, motivating, collaborative, full of bright people with awesome ideas

I love being here at AB, although I recognize that one department seems to be struggling. I have never worked for a better org though. I have freedom in my day, my work is regularly recognized and praised, and the benefits are the best I've seen anywhere.

Most toxic workplace you can imagine

Toxic, hostile, HR and leadership allows for positive discrimination and bullying.

They are willing to listen to ideas on how to improve our workflows. They will offer ways to meet your goals and help you through the steps. I truly believe my managers want me to succeed, and they put the effort in to help me do that.

They are down-to-earth and are ensuring the platform and org isn't going to be left behind in the world of AI

They lead by example and encouragement, rather than disappointment and threats.

I think they are open to feedback, I've been able to share concerns freely and openly.

They need to learn this space and stop treating everything as urgent. In an election year, you should not have 5-6 high priority initiatives with the belief "AI will do it". As the adage goes, jack of all trades, master of none.

The whole team needs to change for leadership that has a sense of accountability, emotional intelligence, and respect for their employees and donors.

The executive leadership is notoriously lacking action to correct underperformers, bullies, and toxic employees. The lack of vision and direction trickles through all levels resulting in low morale, inefficiency, and unskilled department heads.

Collaborative and kind, the day to day staff make the role worth it. Everyone below the exec/director level is a joy to work with.

Dedicated. Mellow. Hard working. Supportive.

I love my team, we are very open and honest with each other. We celebrate accomplishments and feel good about the work we do.

Trained on business and people skills

Professional decorum, efficiency, work ethic

The individual contributors are incredibly smart and talented

Working for causes I believe in gives me a positive sense of purpose.

Everything needs to change starting with removing hostile and toxic bullies and inefficient leaders

The untrained and unskilled managers need to leave or step up to meet competencies.

I was able to interview with folks I would be working with. It gave me the opportunity to meet my future teammates. That helps to develop chemistry right away.

Stop expanding until you have a cohesive strategy. Invest in the people who know the space. When everyone is burnt out, that's a huge organizational issue, not an issue with an individual and our CEO's response needs to stop being "they can leave".

The bad actors are rewarded while high performers are being bullied or managed out.
