Pros
I have been here for almost 4 years and cannot overstate how much I enjoy working here. Every company in the Valley brags about how you will be working with the best and brightest, the thing is, it is actually true at Study.com. Further, there is an abundance of care taken to ensure that these people will actually be decent, engaged, and valued employees. The mission is also something that is able to keep me motivated and enthusiastic. I have worked in a variety of industries and I can honestly say that it is so much more fulfilling to work for a company that truly helps people, as opposed to just selling a widget or peoples data. You really can't beat working for a highly successful company that truly delivers societal impact.
The perks that the company provides are tremendous. Highly competitive bonuses and salaries, a piece of the pie in the event of acquisition/sale, great benefits, free food, free gym membership, free Caltrain passes, tons of events and happy hours. Finally, the culture of the company is great, yet constantly being worked on. Providing input is encouraged and accepted with open arms.
Cons
- The closely held nature of the company precludes a lot of visibility into financial results.
- The flat nature of the hierarchy may be frustrating for people who are looking for a new title every year or significant management opportunities.
