Pros

Wonderful peers and product has potential, even after leaving I still think it is an excellent tool. Work-life balance was great, but maybe led to the downfall.

Cons

Small group that travels together, basically the first 30 that are part of the company despite lack of managerial experience will always have jobs - which clearly comes through immediately after interviewing and starting. Certain managers are not great managing teams and getting deals done - pricing is all over the map for clients. School districts will eventually find out and the company may lose credibility. They said they laid off 15% of the workforce, but in actuality it is higher and had an opt-pout period which many should have taken since it was two months pay and not the terrible 2-3 weeks given. The 'great package' touted at the company wide layoff meeting was utterly terrible in the industry, albeit they did not have to do anything. They stress family but left many stranded with their pants down.

Pros

Real remote flexibility here. They are embracing the technology we have to ensure our work life balance remains a high priority. You're trusted to manage your own time and get the job done without constant oversight. The bigger story though is the turnaround over the last year and a half. The new leadership has turned the ship around... before it fell off the map. The mission is clear now, and there's real room to help shape how we get there rather than crossing our fingers, closing our eyes, and hoping for the least worst.

Cons

Leadership communication is where things fall a bit short. We get the monthly all-hands and then... radio silence. I get it, priorities compete and there's a lot on their plate. But when the crew is the one actually rowing the boat, it helps to hear from the captain more than once a month. The occasional engagement via Slack, a little more visibility in between the big meetings would go a long way toward keeping everyone rowing in the same direction. We're all in this together - it's helpful to be reminded why a bit more often.
