My colleagues. The mission. The focus on making education work for all kids.
Performance tasks to test relevant knowledge and skills. A few steps, but each one allowed me to ask questions of different people.
The best part about WestEd is the people. They are committed to the org's mission and do excellent work. At the same time, they are caring and supportive of one another.
Good support for work/life balance. Constructive feedback, collegiality vs competition. Support for social interaction and getting to know the who the people you work with are. Not all work and no play.
I appreciate the health plan we have and the dental, vision, coverage too. It's made very affordable for me. I highly value MY TIAA account, that I take with me when I leave, and the contributions made by the org.
