Pros
- I worked with some really nice people! (so what, I have at every company) - The intended impact of the product is awesome (increase confidence/success of students). Too bad it's failing and no one wants to use it - The salary was decent - Occasionally do trips and on-site events that they clearly can't afford
Cons
- There is absolutely no trust in leaders at this company. Some of them started as interns and have no experience in a real company - Huge amounts of money were squandered on lavish trips and too much staff. There was clearly very little foresight from senior leadership in building a successful company - The tutors are a core part of the company, but they are treated as second-class employees. They are trying to unionize in order to protect themselves. Praying for them - The product is pretty unimpressive. It's not a great experience for the tutors OR the students. - Constantly shifting priorities led to frustration and consistently having little impact on improving the product - Consistent layoffs have trashed morale and everyone seems pretty checked out. Most people are actively looking for new roles at other companies - I was but a humble developer who had little contact with the problematic people at this company. I am certain there are absolute HEAPS of BS that I was not privy to. This ship is sinking. If you are thinking of applying to this company, you might want to consider applying for a company that will still be around in a couple of years. I am quite happy I was laid off and am moving on to better things!
