Pros

I've been working at IXL Learning for a handful of weeks and really enjoy every aspect of the job, the team I am on, and the environment at the company. IXL is filled with a lot of fun, hard-working folks, which makes coming to work a pleasure. I really take a great deal of pride in my work, and this can be hard to mesh with a work environment that aims at quantity of output over quality. This has not been the case with IXL where there really is a push towards an innovative, quality product. I couldn't recommend this place high enough.

Cons

I have nothing to write here.

Pros

IXL is on the bleeding edge of educational technology, and it is exciting to be working in such a quickly growing company in such a quickly growing field. I have never been surrounded by so many people with such intelligence, and the fact that they remain down to earth and open to new ideas must be a strongly contributing factor to that intelligence. Everyone cares very strongly about the difference we are making in the lives of so many kids, and the shared sense of purpose can be heady. As the company continues to grow job, descriptions continue to evolve. Talented and hard-working people are highly prized, and after they are hired they are given the room to grow, too. If you are interested in education and technology, and in being a part of the future of how people learn, IXL is a very fun place to work.

Cons

It's still a small to mid-size company, so my free coffee comes without a barista. There are good days and there are bad days, but what the reasons I have for not liking working at IXL are the same reasons I would have working at ANY job. There is no such thing as a free lunch, though, so if I am going to work to eat I am glad I found IXL.

Pros

- Lots of new features, challenges, innovations. Definitely no sense of stagnancy or complacency for either the products or the future of the company itself. - Diverse and friendly company culture, everyone is extremely welcoming and happy to chat while grabbing a cup of coffee or answer work related questions. - Good work/life balance. Everyone takes pride in their work, but there is no pressure to work insane hours. - Great managers who care both personally and professionally. Really. - Many opportunities for more responsibility.

Cons

If you living in San Francisco, the commute can be tedious.
