Pros

I've been at Study.com for over 5 years and have seen it grow from a small company of 10 employees to over 70. The clear leadership has helped sustain this growth and create a a culture that makes coming to work each day enjoyable and inspiring. Some key pros: * There is a focus on teamwork and goals, which means there is no politics or egos * Inspiring mission to make education accessible means we're working on an exciting educational product that is making a difference for people every day * Leadership trusts employees and empowers them to grow * Employees are rewarded for being strong contributors by getting increased responsibility and compensation * The company moves fast, making it an exciting place to work * The company constantly iterates on processes and products, so that if something isn't going well, you can expect to see improvements * There is transparency across the whole company so everyone has the opportunity to know what each team is working on * Employees are incredibly smart and talented and genuinely like each other. * Decisions are data driven and clearly communicated to the company * We use scrum to get work done, which leads to buy in and team ownership of projects

Cons

We're growing quickly and encountering some growing pains. HR and the executives are doing a great job of trying to maintain the culture but we're encountering a few bumps as we grow. It can also be hard to maintain focus and prioritize because there are so many great ideas to pursue.

I'm so glad you appreciate our transparency. We've worked hard over the years to make sure that employees have insight into what the company is working on and why. In addition to quarterly kick offs and wrap ups that are presented to the whole company, each initiative team records a demo of their work every two weeks. These demos are available to everyone, and even aired during catered Monday lunches. If you don't know where to find the demos, feel free to ask anyone on the HR team as we'd love to share them with you! We know that it can be hard to stay focused since there are so many great ideas. We start each quarter fresh by evaluating ideas and prioritizing them so that initiative teams can stay focused on the highest value projects. But don't worry, your ideas are not forgotten. We keep a backlog of all ideas so they can be evaluated again. And you can always use your Innovation Friday or hackathon time to prototype an idea and prove concept.

Pros

Occasional food trucks at happy hour

Cons

The responses from their HR team on here are laughable. The leadership team will screw you over overtly, egregiously, and repeatedly. Do not work here. You’ll have to sit through tearful speeches from the CEO about how his name is pronounced while their chief growth officer runs multiple parts of the business into the ground while posting about dating drag performers on LinkedIn. Their social media posts are filled with comments about complaints about a lack of customer service. They don’t care about their clients, customers, or employees.

Hey — we appreciate you reaching out, and we're sorry your experience here wasn't a good one or the right fit culturally. We'll be honest, though: this doesn't reflect who we are. We care deeply about our impact on customers, about our business, and about the values that shape how we work. We're sorry you didn't get to experience that side of us. If you're ever open to sharing more, our door is open — people@study.com. We wish you all the best.
