Pros

The work / life balance was good. There are some really good people there working in the trenches, but they all feel under-appreciated. They have a great product idea and great potential. It's unfortunate they won't ever realize this potential because of the management problems.

Cons

It's a real Good 'Ol Boys network and they are fiercely protective of each other. They look out for each other, instead of looking out for people working for them. Most management I ran across were incompetent and lacked basic management skills. Promotion opportunities are limited at best. Management always talks about appreciating employees, but then they never back it up. Most good people eventually leave because they are tired of not being appreciated.

Pros

- Decent work/life balance - Some interesting projects in pipeline There isn't much micromanagement at the company. You can work from home if you feel more comfortable doing that.

Cons

- Dishonesty - Lack of company values, ethics - No clear opportunities for advancement - Limited benefits - Many 'difficult' personalities in important positions As others have said, the focus of this company seems to be solely its bottom line. There seems to be little concern for employee happiness or well-being. There are also a lot of very difficult people in pivotal positions. These individuals are hard to work with and can be aggressive and unhelpful.

Pros

Mission is admirable, but it should be a mission we all have for education today

Cons

Huge divide between management and all the "little" people not getting rich in stock options. Authenticity please. We can't believe our marketing material unless it is true.
