Pros

The pay and benefits are high, and you can oftentimes believe you’re making a strong impact on the education field.

Cons

Zero psychological safety — frequent “layoffs” that are secretive, sudden, and seem retaliatory. Impossible to focus on doing your best work because some department is always getting re-organized. The people prized by upper management are sometimes incompetent and/or hostile managers that make work miserable.

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.
