Pros

Nice people, a lot of former educators that really care about the mission and making learning better for students. Great product with a lot of innovations.

Cons

VP of sales is shady and slimy and does a bunch of terrible things for company as a whole. Lies about numbers and about bonus compensation, for example we didn’t even know our numbers for an entire year, no way to verify pay and progress to goal, etc. Super messy and unprofessional. Sales managers underneath VP all operate like a cult, there’s a lot of nepotism and favoritism in the upper management and a lot of the males in those roles don’t know what they’re doing and aren’t actually managing their teams. Horrible bosses to work for- high expectations when they themselves don’t do much of anything, and they just don’t care about their people. Could care less about you as a person. An education company should do better!!

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
