Pros

Everything you’d expect in a modern tech company: - Agile methods - Clear product roadmap - Open and transparent communication amongst teams and higher-ups - Peer code reviews, automated tests, CI/CD - Production health observability tools - People’s well-being looked after, 9 to 5 workday - No-nonsense meetings - Solid team bond

Cons

They are still learning the ropes of a data-focused operation. As a contractor, it annoyed me having to ask for permissions granted by default to employees. For example, I was not invited to the first two quarterly All-Hands with the CEO, and getting access to the internal Gem repository was not trivial.

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
