Great culture, overly aggressive expansion

Pros

Culture is great, lots of smart and driven people, lots of dencent perks, flexible schedule

Cons

GA is sacrificing quality over quantity, trying to generate as much revenue as possible but not maintaining the overall quality of their courses. So desperate for students that they would actually just take any walk-in willing to pay.

Pros

I honestly can't say enough how grateful I am to be part of this team. GA's core values aren't just words - everyone on the team truly lives by them and it's evident that everyone's looking out for each other. Not only that, but the company does a great job recognizing our achievements, hard work, and strengths - to the point where people are given the opportunity to relocate to another campus or transition into a new role that they find greater passion for within the company. You're working with bright, positive, resourceful people every day, and it's inspiring to see students, instructors, and alumni on campus and meeting each other, talking about ideas and what they've learned/taught. The entire team does a great job celebrating each other's successes and are genuinely happy and excited for one another. The brand is second to none - attention to detail, witty but not pretentious, minimalist + simple, inclusive, positive. We're allowed to try new things and fail with the understanding that that's one of the best ways to get better. I am growing and learning so much, and with a team I trust, respect, and appreciate. We truly care about our students and instructors and go out of our way to make their experience a positive one.

Cons

Rapid growth stage as GA continues to expand, so there are some natural growing pains - but everyone understands this and works together to move forward and get better, rather than focusing on the hiccups and mistakes. Can be overwhelming the first month or two after you join but if you stick with it, it's worth it.
