Ascend Learning reviews

My colleagues are fun, intelligent, and kind but once you get director level and above, it becomes a completely different work culture. Everyone in the place is universally hamstrung by the 'T&O' group. Accomplishments working with that team are far and few between. It's all completely under resourced and under staffed with no time or allowance given to proper R&D. That means everyone else has to wait and make concessions to get anywhere. Everyone talks about being 'Customer Centric' but the customer always come in last. Unlimited time off is a joke and research has proven it's not as good as it sounds.

One of the corporate initiatives is “make your move,” which unfortunately means that in order to advance you need to transfer to another business unit or leave the company. This is especially true in certain departments, which impacts morale greatly. Adding to that is the lack of pay equity for the same job. There are so many great people working at Ascend who are sincerely dedicated to making the world better, but I fear that these corporate policies will drive them away. It’s a shame because Ascend has the potential to be a much better company.
