Pros

Springboard is a mission driven company - to help people grow in their careers by enabling access to a great education. Every person is here not because they want *a job*, but because they fundamentally care about the mission of the company, and give it their 100% every day to make it a reality. I can't describe how inspiring it is to work with such a smart and driven group of people. I have learned and grown so much since I joined.

Cons

The cons are the same as faced by any early stage startup. You shoulder enormous amounts of responsibility and that can mean longer work hours. But there's enough "party hard" to make up for the "work hard" :-) Also, having a multi-site team (San Francisco+Bangalore) means you might have a few calls outside work hours, and will need to be comfortable communicating with distributed teams.

Pros

- Really positive team and co-founders that encourage professional development. - The ability to make an impact in education. - Great benefits - funny co-working space, unlimited vacation days, semi-annual company retreats, etc.

Cons

- Communication can sometimes get lost since we have 2 offices (one in San Francisco and the other in Bangalore), however, it's pretty minimal.

Thank you! We will definitely keep promoting our mission! It is much easier when we have great co-workers to help us with it. We do realize there could be challenges with teams in different time zones and always appreciate your feedback and suggestions on potential improvements.
