Pros

The company is doing a terrific job helping families and schools, they have created a community for parents and teachers, and a place for real on-line learning. The company keeps ahead of the standards and allows children to stay on track while having fun. The program is innovative, ever changing and unique. The workplace is slow paced, benefits are nice but could be better, salary is low unless you are a SWE.

Cons

The company is 100 % sales driven and focused. Numbers are a top priority. The CEO and CFO are on different pages. Every employee is 100% disposable, regardless of years at the company or job well done. The rest of the core team that is there is great! HR does what they can but their hands are tied most of the time. Recruiting does a great job to try and sell the place and to keep up. I valued my time there, but never felt appreciated, I am happy to be on to better opportunities. This is a good place for someone with little or no experience, more of a stepping stone. Benefits and pay are not up to par with the rest of the bay area, little or no bonuses and no real motivation to want to do a good job.

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
