Excellent Company, Amazing Team - Proposal Writer Curriculum Associates Employee Review

Curriculum Associates invests a great deal of time and care in training and onboarding new employees. The company creates a genuinely welcoming environment, and members of the leadership team make an intentional effort to meet new employees during their first six months. Even though many employees work remotely or on a hybrid schedule, the company regularly plans social events and opportunities for colleagues to connect and build relationships. I've felt supported and welcomed since joining the organization.

Because I genuinely enjoy working with my colleagues, I sometimes wish we weren't so geographically spread out. However, this comes with being a growing company with a remote and hybrid workforce--so it's a good problem to have!

Great people even if we are remote. Good benefits.

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.
