Pros

Great benefits! The company contribute 13% to the employee 403B. The company is very mission-drive. They have older, legacy assessments that will probably keep them in business for a while longer.

Cons

This organization is stale and tired. The product suite is very siloed - most times one program doesn't know what the other is doing which leads to miscommunications and rework. There is quite a bit of cronyism in this company; one never knows who might have it out for you and if your job will be there tomorrow. The recent "reorganization" notwithstanding, the company has no idea how to make the changes it so desperately needs to keep up with the needs of institutions and school districts. The high-profile, first-class travel habits of middle and senior management do not support the organization's mission.This company is the place where older, tired college deans and school district officials comes after they've retired.

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.
