Pros

Nice office, free snacks and beverages, many employees want to improve educational tools and the daily work load is easy.

Cons

WebAssign is a slow-moving education company, not the fast-paced technology company that my recruiter advertised. I was fooled. We still use Perl to develop all our instructional content and software. The product development team lacks solid talent and the managers use "Agile" to shield the mediocre team members. Our technology leadership lacks experience driving innovation and we are struggling. Products are slipping and we have abandoned efforts to move off old technology. The entire executive team is a hodgepodge of junior executives and most do not have experience with educational products.

Pros

Lots of natural light in the office. If you want a place to show up and do less than challenging work on a daily basis, this is the place for you. That is the job security factor. Fresh fruit once a week and the unoriginal usual offering of chips, soda, candy, coffee stuff plus the equally unoriginal beer/wine once a week thing.

Cons

Everything about it is lackluster, out dated and stale; the "culture", technology, innovation and reoccurring "struggles" of the company as a whole. Management has no clue how to mindfully engage much less walk the walk the expect of others. Drones for the most part. Advancement? Unless this is your first job, don't expect to be compensated (annual reviews are subjective; the review "formula" for rating is kept hidden from employees) nor find a path to higher career success. Purse-strings for annual "bonus" are pulled tight and equally as subjective. There are none with no where for a person with any experience to go in this company.
