Pros

The overall company was great, but that's not what keeps people at a job.

Cons

My experience on my team was defined by poor leadership, gossip, and a culture where misinformation and politics carried more weight than performance. I experienced a lack of support from management when issues came up, and it did not feel psychologically safe to speak up or ask for help. After returning from protected leave, I was separated shortly after, and the process left me feeling like I was not given a fair or objective evaluation. I also observed patterns in the Education org that made it feel especially difficult for people of color to thrive and be supported consistently.
