Pros

-Great Perks: Lunch, snacks, happy hour, unlimited PTO -Transparent, open-door leadership -Honest discussion of company performance every Friday--we celebrate successes and discuss shortcomings. -Direct impact on classrooms and kids -Great, mission driven people -Did I mention the people? Everyone is genuinely interesting and easy to talk to. -Steadily gaining women in leadership positions- half the VP-level team is female. -The team is on a huge diversity push-- quantitative company-wide metrics based on hires and the team make-up. -A qualitative metric I've heard tossed around is "Our team demographics should look the demographics of our customers-- we want to be sure we can represent kids from every background" -Start-up perks with zero tech-bro vibe. Lots of former teachers. -Close to public transit

Cons

-Some growing pains... going from unknown to almost half of US schools in 3 years meant rapid expansion. We're still filling in some holes in the team.

Pros

Working alongside very intelligent people to solve both hard technical problems and a larger problem impeding education today. Very motivating to hear feedback from schools or applications that we're helping students learn. Incredibly genuine and unique culture that values continued learning and individuality.

Cons

Growing pains inherent in many startups: too much we want to do and not enough people to do it.
