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

-easy -little to no overtime -free lunch twice a week -most people are friendly -location convenient -the perks are good, they try to be good to employees -if you want a lax job where you don't try too hard (and don't care about your work) with reasonable perks and good pay, this place will probably be great for you -CEO is a funny guy and often mispronounces words

Cons

- look at the reviews for Remilon, which is actually this company. The only reason the ratings here are so high is because they changed names earlier this year. - their main business is selling student data to for-profit schools (University of Phoenix, etc.) - some employees are extremely difficult to work with

Study.com really values the strong GTD work ethic of its employees. We're sorry you didn't have that experience. We realize each employee perceives the work environment differently. We're proud to have such a motivated, high-achieving team that has helped us create a thriving subscription service to help students earn college credit and improve their grades. Our subscription service for our learning resources is 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.
