Pros

Paper had many talented, mission oriented individual contributors prior to recent layoffs.

Cons

- Product is more expensive and less effective than competitors - no product market fit and external facing employees are pulling teeth to get usage up at school districts - Company has had 3 rounds of mass layoffs in the past few months bringing corporate headcount from ~600 to ~250 in about 6 months time - Leadership is out of touch with the realities of what is happening in schools, districts, and the company - No development/growth opportunities - Pay is low relative to industry norm I would stay far away from Paper until they can get some of these issues sorted out.

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.
