Pros

You'll have a chance to influence/improve the lives of teachers and students in higher education

Cons

A year or so ago I would have recommended this company wholeheartedly. They had some release/quality issues, for sure, but the culture and overall direction were solid. The company was actually a joy to work for. However, about a year ago senior leadership changed and everything went sideways. Over time they have dismantled the culture, driven away talent, and continued to make or allow terrible decisions. They choose to lead through fear rather than trust, react to disagreements with anger and no self control, and expose an ego so fragile that open and honest discussion becomes impossible. The company has been bleeding people since the beginning of 2018. For instance, more than 2/3 of the engineers that were employed on 1/1/2018 are no longer with the company. As incredibly high as that turnover rate is, leadership refuses to acknowledge that a problem exists at all. The leadership team seems to be utterly confused as they can't (or won't) view their actions and choices from their employees' points of view; in short, they lack empathy. They don't care about their employees or the future of the company itself, just their own careers. It's terribly unfortunate that a company with so many other things going for it could be completely ruined by a handful of individuals. For that reason, though, I strongly recommend anyone considering them for future employment looks elsewhere.

Pros

ExamSoft has strong leadership with a clear and consistent vision for where the company is headed. The organization does a great job staying true to its identity while continuing to evolve its product suite in ways that meet and often exceed client needs. There is a genuine mindset of continuous improvement, and that shows up in both the platform and how teams approach their work. It’s also a mission you can genuinely get behind. The company is deeply invested in doing right by its clients and often goes further than most to ensure success. There’s a strong commitment to getting it right, every time, not just delivering a product. Training and onboarding are taken seriously, and teams are generally supportive and willing to help you ramp and succeed. There’s a sense that people want you to do well, especially early on. The company also does a solid job of practicing what it promotes around work-life balance. While base salaries may not always be the most competitive, the bonus structure, commissions, and overall benefits package help offset that gap in a meaningful way.

Cons

Upward mobility is limited, and career progression can feel unclear or stagnant over time. There is also a noticeable tendency for favoritism within management, which can impact opportunities and team dynamics. The culture can lean political and, at times, toxic depending on the team or leadership structure. While it’s not the worst environment out there, it can create friction and inconsistency in employee experience.
