Pros

- eLearning &Online Education, Training & Certification is a hot industry! - Smaller size means less bureaucracy - Strong revenue per employee - 20-25% of open positions are filled internally, so lots of opportunity for internal movement - Hires top notch people from top notch companies - Market competitive pay - A member of the Blackstone Family of Companies

Cons

Smaller size means the company is still working to automate a number of processes...so new employees will need to be patient while new systems and processes are implemented.

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Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems.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.
