Pros

Work life balance is good

Cons

Probably the worst company I’ve ever worked for. Do not work for workforce skills if you are young and want a career. Toxic culture of knowing ‘the right’ people No clear understanding business strategy No clear and consistent communication across the organisation People are treated poorly and there is a ton of gossip around the organisation High staff turnover Salaries are not very competitive Tries to be “Tech” but they really struggle from a cultural and skills standpoint There is no focus on culture or people first

Working on EdTech and helping improve educational outcome. Caring coworkers, altruistic & mission driven, etc.

Pay is reasonable for working in the education field but is slightly lower than working in other parts of tech.

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.
