Pros

Have been with the company several years, and consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found an organization that is mission driven, yet affords very practical business experience and learning. The work is fascinating, you are entrusted early in your career with great responsibility, there's ample growth and promotion opportunity- but you have to be willing to work hard and push yourself to excel. I love my work and so that hasn't been an issue for me- and I still feel like I have great balance and time to pursue other interests, like volunteering. The company is socially responsible and does a lot to provide flexibility for volunteering, health and wellness, and time off to recharge. The mission is so compelling and what keeps me here: we really are helping to make education smarter. we are helping students find the right college, and helping them graduate in four-years.

Cons

There has been a lot of change in the past year- including a split from our parent company and acquisition by private equity. I personally think this represents even more opportunity for staff- but not everyone is a fan of change. Or private equity. Like many companies, we are working to provide a more diverse and inclusive culture, but we're not where we want to be yet. I think management recognizes this and is taking action, including hiring a head of D&I.

Pros

-Mission-driven culture with a focus on improving the performance of colleges, universities and K-12 schools -Incredibly smart colleagues who are driven, creative, smart and care deeply. Lots of boomerang employees--"people who leave and then come back." -Corporate Social Responsibility program that is incredibly active and supportive of employees' interests and has driven a lot of impact in local communities -Firm is growing and driving impact in an important industry -Employees who deliver results and are collaborative--have upward mobility options

Cons

-Need more management training--sometimes firm has leaders managing who need to be invested in before they can be great. -Given split from the Advisory Board Company--internal systems need to be upgraded faster
