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.

Pros

Tons of opportunities to make an impact in the company. Great mission which gives you the opportunity to make people's lives better through education. Everyone that works here is very smart and passionate so its a very engaging environment.

Cons

Very team focused atmosphere. Sometimes it can be stressful. There are high expectations of what you should deliver but these keep you motivated.

We're really driven by our mission to help students improve their grades and earn low-cost college credit, and we're constantly looking for new ideas from employees to help us achieve these goals. We have so many smart, creative employees with great ideas that it is hard to act on all of them immediately. We keep all the ideas in our backlog and revisit them several times a year. In the last quarter, we've gone out of the box, trying new ideas to help engage students.

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.
