      Pros

      -Remote Work -Good Workload -Nothing Else

      Cons

      - Management will throw you under the bus - Management isn't working together - The CEO gives himself millions but won't let the company purchase necessary tools to be successful. - Everything seems to be a priority, and management gets upset when other deliverables are not completed. - Compensation is lower than the market

      Talented colleagues, but poor leadership drove me to leave

      Pros

      Flexibility and remote work options were a plus. Incredibly smart, passionate colleagues who care deeply about their work. I learned a lot here and worked on meaningful projects I’m proud of.

      Cons

      - Promotions and advancement opportunities were limited and inconsistent. -Multiple layoffs and leadership changes led to a downturn in morale. There was unclear communication, a lack of psychological safety, and a sharp shift in management style. - Concerns raised to HR regarding management went unaddressed - Quiet rollback of DEI efforts was deeply disappointing, especially coming after a time when Stride publicly emphasized inclusion and equity initiatives. - The CEO appears increasingly disconnected from the company’s educational mission, with priorities seeming to lean more toward profit and shareholder returns than the needs of students and teachers. This shift in focus undermines the trust and purpose that drew many of us to the organization.

      Pros

      nothing at all, is good

      Cons

      Everything is dysfunctional. The students arent disciplined, the in class teachers, have their hands tied and you will be blamed for everything-avoid at all costs
