Is this your company?

Don't do it - listen to the bad reviews - they are telling the truth. - Instructor General Assembly Employee Review

Pros

I don't really have any.

Cons

The students are never at fault - even if you have a student who yells at you daily. Instead, they will tell you to talk to them, even after you tell your manager you feel really uncomfortable. Both myself and my Instructional Associate spent more of our time backing up and defending and getting our support staff to believe us than getting support. It was exhausting. The culture of GA is awful. There was a point in time on the general slack channel where there were divisive and very shocking comments being made about social causes that should not be had in a slack conversation. It was really uncomfortable and hostile place to feel comfortable having conversations.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn and build experience with Fortune 500 and 1000 client projects, can offer flexibility since the work is 100% remote and contracts are on a per-project basis. Can be great for career growth if you're motivated to work hard and hustle

Cons

People are spread very thin on lots of projects, timelines can be very rushed and high-pressure. This can be a result of client pressure, but also frequently comes from internal issues with communication and poorly defined scope of work.
