Pros

-Everyone I have worked with here is incredibly competent -The managers I have worked with have made my career development a focus -The tech is constantly evolving and innovation is a core value - there are hackweeks, managers/PMs are extremely receptive to feature or technical improvements, etc.

Cons

-Company being worldwide means teams have a spread of time zones - up to a 5 hour spread on a team, possibly more if you need certain teams. -Devs do have to go on call -Recent layoff + churn over ~3 years has caused some noticeable knowledge loss throughout the company. Also, the layoff wasn't really handled as well as it should have been.

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
