Pros

This company has so many pros I'm not even sure where to start... - Excellent leadership - Transparency and honesty in communication and process - low egos / openness to new ideas and ways to meet a goal - flexibility with work/life balance - competitive compensation with bonuses, retirement, and extra stock options - altruistic leadership (in time, contributions) - stands firm on morals and values - stands firm on company priorities - stress free workplace with many benefits to increase wellness - lots of opportunities to socialize with colleagues / connect with affinity groups / learn about each other outside of work - openness to include various perspectives in a decision Out of so many ed tech companies, I'd pick CA over and over again. It's the best (and most well run) ed tech company I've worked with. Long term stability is solid, leadership is fantastic, and the employees at CA are some of the most brilliant people I've ever met.

Cons

- The only con, for me, is not living close to the office to be able to see everyone in person and take advantage of the range day events / prizes.

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.
