      Pros

      Incredible colleagues who focus on "we" over "me," collaborating respectfully and treating one another with grace in service of a noble mission. All who work here are focused on serving schools above all else, a shared goal that is energizing and rallying in the face of change, or when challenges inevitable crop up. Company has focused on inclusion both externally and internally, supporting belonging and growth for all team members through a range of programs, from manager training to employee resource groups.

      Cons

      CA is a high-integrity employer that truly cares for people - both its employees and the educators and students they impact. While rapid growth can present challenges for any org, from global expansion to the need for better tools and systems, the company approaches change with a people-first mentality and focuses on impact to employees and educators with every decision.

      Pros

      I’ve worked in other industries and companies and can honestly say CA is the best company I’ve ever worked. - strong commmitment to mission, lives its values - development opportunities (leadership programs, stretch assignments) - the people are supportive and kind, leaders including CEO very approachable and down to earth - flexibility (I work from home but some of my colleagues near offices have to go in six days per month - not bad at all) - company takes care of its people (solid benefits, perks, nice offices) Individual experiences probably vary by team and manager but it’s been a positive experience for me.

      Cons

      Company is going through operational and cultural changes because it grew quickly. On top of that it’s navigating the role of AI and operationalizing for future growth. The pace of change and volume of information can be a lot. There is much focus on communication and transparency but it’s still tough for people who have been here for a long time and miss the company from 5-10 years ago. That causes friction and can be frustrating for people who are newer and excited to be here.

      What a thoughtful review — thank you for taking the time to write it. Hearing that our mission, growth opportunities, and leadership approachability have made this the best place you've worked means a great deal. You're right that we're moving through a lot of change as we grow and adapt, including how we think about AI and future readiness, and we know that lands differently depending on how long someone's been here. Your point about finding common ground and a clearer shared vision is exactly the kind of feedback we want more of — we'll make sure it gets to the right people.

      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.

      Thank you for sharing this. We're glad the people and benefits still feel like genuine positives in your experience. We hear your concerns about the pace of change recently and recognize that a lot of change landing at once can feel less like growth and more like pressure. Burnout is something we take seriously, and we're working to make sure the "why" behind these decisions is communicated clearly. We believe that being together in person makes us stronger as a team. And we also value flexibility, which is why we're asking for just 6 days a month from employees local to our Billerica office, not a full return to office. Flexibility has been, and will continue to be, core to how we work.
