Pros

Nice people- including managers, catered lunches, good work-life balance, flexible hours, start up environment- less long hours, Stability of being owned by a fortune 500 company, Barnes and Noble. Upward mobility. I like that we are in the Digital Education space, helping students learn. Proud that we built this app from scratch. Strong relationships with publishers, part of Barnes and Noble College. I am very happy here.

Cons

Could be better communication from a business perspective.

Pros

Work life balance is pretty good because there is no real work happening due to the complete chaos. The team people as others have noted were great, nice people to work with, low drama.

Cons

Since the January lay off a lot of good people are jumping or have jumped ship. Corporate management (CEO, Chief Digital Officer, CIO) are clueless as to what they had and how to use it. For example "buy don't build" on a slide shown to the people who job is to build. Apart from that the company has no direction and operates like they are running a bookstore not a tech company (particularly HR).
