Pros

Interesting front end and back end challenges that really make a difference for the company and our users. Focused on big needle moving epics instead of endless minutia that I have dealt with in previous roles.

Cons

I wish the product had a bigger presence so we could make an even larger impact.

A Great Place for Career Development

Pros

This is the first company I've been at where management is as committed to my professional growth as I am. Several times a year everyone sits down with their manager to discuss what new skills they want to learn or existing skills they'd like to further develop. I know that happens at some other places too, but what sets Study.com apart is its willingness to move people and projects around to really align what people want to work on with the work that needs to get done. I know a few people that work for large companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook, and they all seem to really like it, but when we talk about work it seems like they're stuck in very specific, focused roles. I think back on the breadth of what I've learned since I started working at Study.com and there's no way I would have picked up half as much somewhere else.

Cons

The office is almost 20 miles away from me and Bay Area traffic is horrible.

Thanks for the positive feedback on our career development conversations. We really try to create a culture where employees can have open conversations about their career goals and also see new opportunities as they stay with the company. As an ed tech company, we want to live up to our mission by making sure our employees always have opportunities to learn new skills, which is why we don't silo employees into specialized positions. - Ashley

Pros

This company cares so much about its employees, it's almost too good to be true. In addition to a high-energy, low-stress environment, the work itself is collaborative, innovative, and fun. The whole company embraces the Agile Scrum method, which encourages flexibility, efficiency, and team-driven decisions. It's an absolute joy to go to work every morning.

Cons

Other than the work being a bit monotonous sometimes, the cons of working here really depend on the team you're working with. Sometimes teamwork can be great, and other times, it can be less than stellar.

Study.com has been working hard to implement Agile and Scrum across the entire company. While there have been some challenges in rolling it out across the whole business, we've really valued the increased transparency and ownership Agile has brought us. Like every company, there is a daily grind, but hopefully Innovation Fridays, hackathons, and opportunities to work on a lot of different projects within your department help to relieve the monotony.
