Big Emphasis on "optics", cultish at times, management's way or nothing

Pros

The mission and the work they do for students is absolutely incredible

Cons

Lots of times I was done with work early but was told to just sit in the office and wait for hours for "optics". Aka don't leave the office before upper management. Felt like an incredible waste of time and old school. I would say everyone is scared to say anything because when you do, its 90% shot down by upper management because they decide how everything is run at SEO. They had us all chant "together we win" on camera individually multiple times and it felt super forced and cultish.
