Pros

Smart group of people that are making education accessible. Agile/scrum framework- culture of learning and transparency supported from the top down.

Cons

The business needs of the company are growing so fast that internal resources are sometimes limited.

We're really proud that we've incorporated agile across our entire organization, from engineering to content and even ops. We're one of the few companies to have embraced agile so completely. The Agile framework has allowed us to grow really quickly and we're working to continue filling gaps that exist so that the company can fully support the initiative teams. If you see an opportunity to help or contribute more, please let us know. We're always looking for ways to leverage our talented team members.

Pros

free snacks. happy hour. feel good about helping people (until you find out it's fake)

Cons

Company claims to doing a public service by providing free education and advice to low income students. Unfortunately the company sell's these low income student's information to for-profit online universities. These school have a reputation of low graduation rates and piling up student debt, as well as worthless degrees. Also employees treated like kindergardners and paygrade is poor

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience at Study.com. We pay employees extremely competitively along with generous benefits, which results in low employee turnover. It sounds like you may have left the company before we developed our subscription service, which is now a core part of our business model. However, another part of our business is in helping students reach colleges and universities nationwide, as you mention in your review. We have a long list of partner schools including for-profit, not-for-profit, and public universities. We're recognized in the industry for our transparency and our respect for students' confidential information.

Pros

Some of the brightest people I have ever worked with A "get things done" culture which has no red tape A brilliant CEO that can provide guidance on both technical and business challenges Great culture, collaborative environment, free food, happy hours and events

Cons

It is a very small, flat organization. People who need titles and promotions to keep motivated can get lost. Company moves very fast, and training is limited to paired programming and collaboration. Developers are required to learn new technologies very quickly.

We're glad you've noticed we have a GTD culture. It's one of our core values, and we're proud that we've been able to maintain it even as we've scaled the company. In 2016 one of our goals is to increase our training and career development opportunities.
