Pros

Decent benefits, Smart colleagues, working for a company that can potentially make a difference to the education of kids the world over

Cons

A company that makes it money from publishing books but wants desperately to be a technology company - yet has no idea how to achieve that. Messy internal systems, never-ending reorgs and non-existent communication make for very low morale.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
