Pros

* I have worked on three teams so far and I have had great experiences with all of them. Great team members and a great product. * They have workshops every couple of months you can attend to learn something new * Flexible with time-off * The company has great values and the product is an online educational tool so if you want to work in education as a developer then this is a great place for you!

Cons

* Depending on which project your working on you might see some legacy code or large repos with a lot of developers making updates which can cause some redundancies in code, however this is a common experience at most large companies. CA also makes effort to resolve these issues, which is exactly what you want a company to be doing.

Pros

CA is a great company. I really appreciate how employee focused the company is and how important culture seems to be.

Cons

We stay very busy but there is room for better pay, considering the amount of work we all do. The pay at CA for inside sales is well below what other EdTech companies pay for the same or similar roles.

Pros

Great people even if we are remote. Good benefits.

Cons

They keep moving the goal post while piling on more expectations. First it was opening an office in India to "chase the sun" (98 US employees got layed off before the holidays. CEO sent out a recorded message admitting that conducting business is cheaper in India. No employees outside the US were layed off), next asking what employees would be willing to give up benefit wise (keep in mind they are known for being on the lower end of market with compensation) and now forcing mandatory fun days for a small percentage of employees who are remote not hybrid (they won't be tracking you but if you don't attend it will be part of your performance review. Asking for an exception is possibly a trap or test to see who is a "team player"). This all feels like a trap or a bad dream. The foundation is cracking under the weight of growing without taking a break for things to adjust. I'm burnt out and exhausted. Always waiting for the next shoe to drop will do that. I do my work, I do it well but that doesn't seem to be good enough anymore.
