Pros

Met some smartest colleagues in education sector. Organizational mission to improve opportunities and access to college. Benefits ..but they have been knocking down benefits for senior leadership pay rise..

Cons

Disastrous leadership especially CEO , CIO and COO.. How can you set a model for employees when senior executives make so many mistakes and trustees reward with pay of $900K and $700K.... Many bad decisions and still keeping certain leaders on..Cronyism to the core. No meal breaks as part of cost cutting but pay raise to senior leadership team. Spend millions of dollars in Pencils Down but benefits get cut each day. Some people get promoted without performance and morale low in employees. No room of growth for performing employees. Upper management does not support employee ideas and are arrogant

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
