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.
