Pros

* Good benefits * Nice coworkers

Cons

Curriculum Design Job * Not a lot of room for career growth or learning. The curriculum designer job in particular tunnels you with little opportunity to branch out. Very little room for horizontal movement. * More time spent back-and-forth over tedious wording than the educational content, with vague guidelines. * Unreasonable workload. Company * Lots of projects and departments get scrapped without warning. Layoffs are not uncommon. * Very top-down. Upper management does not respond to feedback. * Upper management has actively shut down discussions of inclusion and diversity within company. * Lots of favoritism.

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
