Pros
The organization's mission is to help English Language Learners achieve their highest aspirations and the employees who work here are all on board with this mission. This means, they understand the education landscape- curriculum, instruction, policy and compliance, and they work hard with their clients (school districts) to develop a partnership, rather than a vendor-client relationship. The team members at Ellevation believe strongly in the power of education and it flows into other aspects of their character and who they are as people.
The teams members are fun, caring, and they work really hard! It's nice to find a company that can be both a SaaS company and one that does great work for their end users (in this case, teachers and students).
Most of the team is based in Boston, yet there are many remote employees and the management team does a great job of trying to make sure the remote staff feels included.
Cons
I can't think of too many- work-life balance is good, colleagues are wonderful, the product is serving a need in schools.
