Pros

great, dedicated, passionate, smart, kind colleagues focuses on what matters in education--the students, their needs, their reality, their goals. in recent years there has been an increased focus on investing in employee training, engagement, and empowerment content teams are working very hard to transform the learning experience to give students the best learning materials, delivered where they want them.

Cons

So many changes! We can't get our bearing between one reorg and the next. Too many technology silos providing competing platforms without a unifying vision. A frustrating disconnect between providing great products and getting customers to use them. benefits aren't competitive, salary increases are stagnant, and bonuses have been greatly reduced for most employees (and not paid for several years because of the challenging market conditions).

Coworkers are great, benefits are decent, flexible work schedule if something comes up with family, working to improve education for students is rewarding

Numerous reorgs and down sizing, it is only a matter of time before this company no longer exists

Pros

Great people, great products, customers who truly care about improving the learning experience.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations and layoffs damage morale and productivity, and often target older, seasoned employees . Product and pricing decisions often assume that customers will be attracted to the most innovative technology, even if it is priced much higher than the competition and does not satisfy core market requirements.
