Pros

The people I work with are fun & smart. And you can't really ask for anything better than that. I've always said, I don't care what I do as long as it's with good people. But I also get the benefit of loving what I actually do. The benefits rock. Obvi. It's worth mentioning, but I feel like everyone mentions it... so boooooring. I've been here for almost 3 years and as the company matures, it has really only gotten better. All the best stuff stayed the same (the company's commitment to and support of their employees, their commitment to education and our customers, the culture) and the stuff that had to change for a company to grow (processes) has been pretty painless, lean and smart.

Cons

I work in a department that was sorta in rough shape when I arrived (Product). That reputation preceded us in the local community. That makes it a little tough sometimes when talking with folks outside the company... but hopefully, the turn-around we've had over the last year will seep out into the local community soon. Because Product is basically rock star status now. I think the people who needed to leave left and the right people stayed.

Pros

Very nice co-workers Benefits are at least average Work life balance is ok, flexible time off and decent holidays Don’t have to work that hard, great place to retire Focused on AI though the foundations for it aren’t there - as if we’re trying to check the box for a board

Cons

Pretty much a start up with terrible systems and processes Little to no investment in any supporting functions rooted in the TB days of prioritizing margin Cross-functional work is disorganized with horrible change management Complacency across the board. Seems like the old people are just waiting for their equity to vest, doing the absolute bare minimum Clearly an edtech company which feels a lot like what the government must be like Atrocious decision making Senior leaders care more about politics and their own egos than making the company better. Like everyone has an agenda I cannot imagine worse systems setup or data
