Pros

- Employees are mostly trusted and autonomous, little to no micro management. And, more productive as a result. - Flexible work, beautiful office, wonderful colleagues and management makes for a happy 9 - 5. - Amazed by the brain trust. Everyone works to make our company smarter and more efficient. - True company with a mission. This isn't about only making profit (although that's a part of it, of course). This company is about truly improving STEM education in the U.S. A great mission to be a part of. - Since the recent buy back from Apollo, the entire company has been transformed - our headquarters, our brand, our products, etc. It's a start up with a long-time reputation and profitability - a pretty great situation. - Smart, strong C-level leadership

Cons

- The best employees often see a disproportionate share of the work sent their way. - Flat structure means not much junior level support, also means that employees can often end up doing a lot of work "below their paygrade" taking away from the opportunity to be more strategic. - No performance reviews or performance management process means there isn't a clear opportunity and monetary compensation path to current employees. - Recent acquisitions and side projects are stretching staff bandwidth. - For how advanced the company can think, we still have a lot of traditional / legacy issues with Sales, process, systems, and more.

Pros

The people I worked with were honestly great. Some of the products are genuinely good, which drives authentic belief in the company's mission. Benefits were okay.

Cons

There's a dangerous lack of imagination in leadership, who were seemingly caught unprepared for the end of ESSER funding and the market downturn in 2025. Multiple rounds of layoffs have demoralized staff and led to a lot of uncertainty, which is unlikely to improve.
