Pros

Quizlet is a "warm and fuzzy" type of company. The fact that the product has the potential to make a HUGE impact on a persons life, is why I work here. If a person uses our product, does better on a test, does better in school, gets a better job and has a better life? Then wow, how amazing is that? Most companies don't have that type of effect on peoples lives. We are building game changers. We are building things that can effect millions of people for the better. Learning is such a huge part of a persons life, especially when you are young. If we can help people learn better, learn faster, and make it fun, then we are changing lives, and you can't get that "warm and fuzzy" feeling at just any company. Quizlet is doing something pretty special. It's not everyday you can work at a company like this.

Cons

I really wanted to put something here, but honestly, I can't think of any.

Pros

There was a community of talented, caring individuals (ICs and middle management) who supported each other and were passionate about shipping quality features for Quizlet's users.

Cons

- There has been no strategy for years. If there ever is one, it veers mid-quarter. Work assignments veer accordingly. Then leadership blames anyone but themselves when productivity tanks. - The CEO and his army of VPs brought "Amazon/Google accountability" to engineering, and want to drive out what they see as a bunch of low performers. They demonstrate zero ability to distinguish between "low performer" and "mvp". So they drove out most of the mvps. That's in consumer experience engineering btw. There is a smoking crater where the Data & AI org used to be. - The CPO did nothing for years except kill the ideas of his product managers. No ideas, no direction, no support. - Leadership has massive fomo about alleged AI productivity. They measure it with poorly correlated metrics like commits, PRs, lines of code written etc. They keep deciding they haven't replaced enough "low performers" with AI. They’re desperate to drive two or three new features a week, and so they have driven the company into the ground.
