Used to be a great place that has gone downhill dramatically

Pros

Still have some great people that there are fantastic to work with.

Cons

Absolutely no organization at any level. Leadership has no idea how to effectively plan strategically and the miscommunication and lack of direction is felt by almost every department. People are miserable and unfortunately it shows. There is no culture- just micromanaging and “goals” with no ways to track it manage these so called goals. Internal communication is a mess and leads to customer facing roles having no way to effectively communicate customer feedback as well as what to tell customers about future/ current plans.

Pros

You’ll work with some genuinely great, talented people.

Cons

Constant layoffs... every single year, with no real job stability. Most recent layoff cut top talent, only for the same roles to be reposted later at lower pay. After the private equity takeover, the company shifted entirely to shareholder-first thinking, not education or customers. Executive team lacks diversity (overwhelmingly male), which shows in the decision-making and company priorities. Pay is not competitive for the work required, and OTE targets are not realistically attainable. “Do more with less” became the permanent expectation as resources and support decreased. Culture, communication, benefits, and clarity all declined significantly after the acquisition. Leadership is disconnected, inconsistent, and lacks a clear strategic direction. Overall sense of chaos and reactivity rather than genuine planning. Employee well-being is not a priority.
