Pros

- Good experience at the beginning of your career - Most of the staff are friendly enough - The new owners are great, Bertelsmann is an awesome company

Cons

- The culture demands burnout - Conflict is difficult within the environment they have. Many managers will not be questioned, and can react emotionally to comments and concerns

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate the compliments as well as the constructive feedback you gave. We think the people are friendly here and the culture for the most part is pretty casual. We're sorry to hear you feel a little bit different but we'd love to hear more about this. Feel free to write a more detailed response to recruitment@reliaslearning.com and we can improve things from your perspective. Suggestions are always welcomed here and we'd love to improve where our employees think we should. Thanks again for the review.

Pros

Amazing corporate culture Leadership listened to engineering on tools, technology stack, etc Actual product ownership, including necessary input and control (instead of being told you own a product and then not given the necessary access or tools to maintain it)

Cons

Hiring process involved psychological screening with a lot of implicit bias, almost like an IQ test. On the plus side, I've been told they discontinued its use after that was pointed out.

Pros

You have kind co-workers and good benefits.

Cons

The strategic direction is unclear for many parts of the business. There is not enough transparency around hiring decisions - including who is still with the company and where there are opportunities for growth.
