Attentive and Growing

Pros

A new CIO was brought in and is doing a very good job of bringing the infrastructure up-to-date. Availablity and customer satisfaction are rising. New innovate systems and changes are being made to keep applications and services at the forefront. Enterprise Business and Technology Services (EBTS) management putting forth a strong effort to provide a good work/life balance.

Cons

There are a lot of new processes and changes being implemented so there is some flux. Things are still growing and I believe that things are only going to get better. I did not leave due to dissatisfaction, but was offered a great opportunity close to where I live.

Pros

Good benefits, great coworkers, virtual positions available, actually promotes work life balance.

Cons

training (on the corporate side) could be better. Must know someone to get ahead. Could be more diverse when it come to culture.

Pros

- Work-life balance - option to work from home when you want it as long as you do not abuse it (and no employee does, thankfully) - Good working environment - nobody checks when you are punching your card in and out and go as long as you get the work done - Clean and well-lit work place - you really feel like working - Genuinely good products but they are fast becoming outdated in today's world - Nice colleagues - most of the people here are smart, hard working and low-key

Cons

- Unless you are one of those lucky people who were with the company since 2000, zero chance of career advancement. Notice the word 'zero' - its not minimal, its zero (half the IT team left in the last year - should tell you something) - Raises are pitiful every year and bonus is a hit or miss - miss mostly - Transition to new work process has been hell and the work atmosphere is taking a tumble - this can really kill the company - Almost impossible to contribute meaningfully to make great products at an individual level, K12 is fast becoming a start-up going awry If you are a Beginner/Junior level person, K12 is not a bad place to spend 3-4 years. Mid-level or Senior level people? Forget it. Remember, it looks way better from the outside than it is on the inside. You've been warned!
