Pros

Friendly people, fun "Social Hour" with wine, beer, food every Thursday, great 401k, nice office space.

Cons

There is a distinct lack of vision and leadership from the executive layer, a bloated un-empowered middle-management layer, and as a result, a demotivated and directionless layer of people at the ground level. The core product has floundered for years, failing to successfully deliver real value as a result of chasing the market and selling what it doesn't have rather than improving what it does. It has become a company led by politics and profit which is a true pity since most of the ground workers are truly passionate about making a difference in education.

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.
