Pros

Benefits are relatively generous. Coworkers are generally good at their jobs and there are many people who are truly passionate about helping people. Newer high level course content is pretty cool and really pushes the boundaries of mandatory training.

Cons

Company makes a big deal about valuing data and healthy conflict, but usually if someone has made a decision about something, that's it. There are a lot of problems related to interdepartmental communication. Several department heads don't work well together which creates a lot of unnecessary work. There tends to be a lot of micromanagement of trivial issues while big issues are left to fester. As long as profits are good there's not a lot of reason for them to care. The company doesn't really seem to care about employees (hires inexperienced workers for low pay, pay remains low, no potential for advancement.) Overall it's gotten very corporate over the past couple years but it still thinks of itself as Google or Facebook.

Thanks for the review and both positive and constructive feedback. We agree on the benefits, culture, and product pieces that's for sure. We also know that healthy conflict is something we strive for and are trying to improve. The management team talks about this quite often and they won't let it fall off our radar. In regards to the piece around data it's interesting to hear that feedback. We see a lot of decisions being made but when someone produces insightful, meaningful data those decisions can easily be reversed. I'm sorry to hear you've had a different experience. If you'd like to discuss further you can always shoot an email directly to recruitment@reliaslearning.com. Thanks again for your review, it's really appreciated.

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.
