Good, but not great

Recommend

Pros

Smaller and privately owned, greater stability compared to other Learning companies. Attractive to those wanting to make an impact and have a voice. Using Learning Science to direct product development and approach to the market. In general, a good company with some very great people, doing great work.

Cons

Very cliquey, organizational silos hamper collaboration. "Redesign" happens here every 6 - 12 months, leadership team sheds talent too easily, and seems to favor tenure over performance. Slower to develop transformative digital learning tools compared to the rest of the industry.

Pros

The people are the biggest pro. It's refreshing to work in a company where the employees are passionate about the company mission - to help students learn. That said, the benefits are a close second - fantastic package w/many insurance options and generous vacation. I've found the organization to be very flat, with folks open to new ideas and suggestions; also, they promote from within. The research that goes into the products is impressive and the company is trying to be more innovative, The offices have good perks, like free coffee. I know it's a little thing but it's ultra convenient and makes life easier. They're also in great locations (1NY plaza has a lot of public transportation and food options.) There are also regular employee events.

Cons

The salary could be better. But this is not uncommon in the education/publishing industry. They could be considered a fast-follower when it comes to edtech . They're doing better in terms of research/innovation lately though.)
