DNC Reviews

- logo is wrong on glassdoor - state-sponsored russian hackers - it's no trump white house, but it's not free of that kind of posturing - a LOT of adult baby men whose feelings are your #1 responsibility - tons of staff turnover, so expect to spend like half of every year hiring - i am not 100% sure the hr department exists. or if it does exist, it does something other than hr - building leaks when it rains - the building is surrounded by gingko trees which produce foul-smelling hellfruit for most of the year - party leadership doesn't trust staff/maybe even actively hate staff? I'm not sure who leaders WANT to do the actual thankless and functional work of running the party but it is certainly not the dnc staff -so to sum up, you'll meet some of the most incredible people in politics you will meet in your life, democrats will hate you, republicans will hate you, you'll work 18 hours a day, 12 of which are spent flattering and dealing with the emotions of a select few men in leadership positions, put a bucket under the roof if it rains, and fight to get leadership to do the right thing which is the clear opposite of what they want to do. honestly i had a blast.

I received next to no training as well as very little, if any, substantive coaching on how to do my job. I should've known when I'd asked in the interview process how success was measured and I was told "the quality of the work" rather than specific benchmarks that the position I was working for was extremely nebulous and hard to define. When my supervisor told me they were unsatisfied with my performance, I asked for concrete examples on how I could improve and was given none. When I reached out to HR to help navigate conversations with my supervisor how to move forward productively, I felt optimistic - until the next day, when I was completely shut down. I was told that the accommodations I'd requested as an attempt to optimize my performance would "take too much time" out of my supervisor's day, which left me feeling like there was next to no desire in optimizing my output, defining the expectations and responsibilities of my role, and ensuring that I was given the tools to succeed.
