Pros

This is a great place to make a difference and work with some incredibly talented people. Students have genuine respect and admiration for UWorld. Great office environment for those who are required to come to the office. Flexible hours and reasonable workload. DFW is a great place to live.

Cons

CEO is very anti-remote work even though many employees are remote. He doesn’t seem to understand we are more productive at home. Some employees asked to come to the office, but others are not. Long commutes on top of high gas prices doesn’t motivate employees. This company has a problem with office politics. Bad blood between employees is creating a very uncomfortable work atmosphere. In some cases there is pressure to “pick a side.” Gossip and intrigue is now common place. Senior leadership makes no effort to resolve tensions and prefers to stay out of/ignore it. Company sends out yearly surveys that carefully avoid asking questions about senior leadership’s performance. The company’s success relies on a handful of extremely high performers, many of whom are looking for opportunities elsewhere because of mistreatment. All of these problems = stress, poor mental health and high turnover.

Pros

None. This company is racist, ageist, and depending on AI to write educational materials

Cons

There are almost too many to list. Use of AI is demanded by the CEO (oh yes, the sainted Dr. Chandra himself) for writing educational materials for test prep and study guides; employees are expected to work 8 hour days with no breaks; blatant favoritism (everyone sees you, illustrators, walking in two or three hours late, then leaving maybe two hours later); ageism; micromanagement; directors who know absolutely NOTHING about the department they’re “leading”; VPs and above who also know zero about what the departments actually do, but demand metrics that are impossible to measure; did I say micromanagement? Excessive and extensive bullying is allowed and even encouraged; salaries are absolutely no where near market and they won’t pay anyone what they’re worth; training? what’s training? Sink or swim, you’re not worth training.
