Pros

Ascend Learning offers a very flexible work environment that allows people to get things done from anywhere; the key is to be highly productive with high quality. This benefit is perfect for those with full schedules and families. The company offers great compensation and benefits. Every unit in the company is organized around a specific higher order purpose, which includes a passion for doing meaningful work to help students, educators, and employers actualize a better world.

Cons

The company thrives on those who can run fast, adapt to change, evolve, and are truly entrepreneurial. Most organizations expect employees to reside in the square and move up a short step ladder. Ascend Learning grants responsibility, latitude, and autonomy. This requires that we attract people with certain epic traits that are rare including self-starter, self-motivated, and accountable.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
