Pros

The mission is totally noble, and there is such a breadth of interesting problems to tackle here (if you can get to the problems)

Cons

Upper management is strikingly inept. Despite a stated desire to be a digital education leader, leadership had no interest in what it meant to be a technology company. Not surprisingly, almost all of the technical leadership departed en masse. Now, even if they want to, they can't build any quality digital education products. Oh, the answer - outsource to Sri Lanka and India...what could possibly go wrong?

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.
