Pros

The people in technology are talented and easy to work with. My boss is brilliant and treats me very well. I enjoy the projects I work on and the team I work with has an amazing tech lead. I've worked in a number of bad jobs with people who are indifferent or even abusive , so working with someone who clearly understands the entire ecosystem and can see how my work clearly benefits the bottom line, it's such a relief and feels long overdue. If I wanted to keep working in a corporate environment and if the culture remained smart and supportive, I'd happily stay at Scholastic until retirement.

Cons

Way too much work and the timelines are so short. We always manage to make it to the finish line, but we're always juggling multiple projects and there never seems to be any time to catch our breath before moving on to the next thing.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
