Refreshing ethos; helpful and genuine people

Pros

As the headline says, I have found CA to be a company that has clear and admirable values and stands behind them. I am still relatively new, and continue to be delighted at the responsiveness of nearly every employee I contact with a question. There is a lot of genuine positivity and professionalism here. I have worked for many corporations over the years so I have a good basis for comparison. I am pleased with the benefits. The compensation is a bit lower than I am accustomed to (coming from another industry) but seems fair, with good opportunities for growth in that vein.

Cons

I have not identified any notable downsides. Deadlines can be intense, but that is part of this role in any environment and this is not a constant--it ebbs and flows. I have observed my (and other) department(s) actively seeking to expand personnel, seeming conscious of the need to avoid faltering quality and/ or overworked staff. I have never felt that I could not ask for help, or that I would not get it.

Pros

I am new to CA, and so far, everything I've heard and read has been 100% true. Salary and benefits are exceptional, and from the very first interview all the way to new hire activities, each person I've encountered has been kind, respectful, and passionate about making classrooms better for students and teachers. I've also found their processes to be sophisticated but simple, and the on-boarding process has been well-organized and thoughtful. I think this awesome start says a lot about who they are, and I'm feeling pretty lucky to have found this new work home!

Cons

I haven't noticed any drawbacks yet.
