Pros

I enjoyed the work I was doing and the people I worked with. The company mission was one worth working toward as the real focus was to improve the college and career readiness of all students and help them achieve their potential.

Cons

As I was part of a group to help manage projects and budgets, the main issue was a lack of accountability of the project sponsors and senior management when it came to adhering to set constraints. Often projects would take longer to implement and spend considerably more than originally budgeted. There was little to no consequence for missing targets and this proved to be frustrating at times.

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.
