Pros

Teaching adults is fun and challenging. Instructors care about their classes. GA provides a nice work space and all the necessary little perks (coffee/tables/couches) for getting work done outside of class.

Cons

Operations are unbelievably disorganized. Curriculum development for new classes is a joke - they give you "class materials" that contain almost none of the relevant information and need to be completely re-written before they're fit for teaching. Accounting department is an embarrassment - at various points, they've managed to either fail to pay or double-pay myself and some of my colleagues.

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.
