Nice coworkers, bad management

Pros

Some really nice people, decent work life balance.

Cons

Lack of organization by management and exec, some managers have a very hands off approach and don't seem to want to be managers. My team and I were blindsided when a member of our team was fired for "performance reasons" when they had been doing great and had been given zero performance based feedback or improvement plan by their manager. Slow moving, risk averse culture - antithesis to most Silicon Valley start ups. Top down approach to decision making, lower ranked staff members are only valued for their following of directions rather than their ideas. Relatively low pay compared to other companies in different industries - they use the mission oriented culture to underpay their employees.

low salary and awful morale

Pros

Study.com hires amazing individuals who all have drive and will always jump to provide a helping hand. Despite how poorly this company has continuously treated their Content Department, they still go above and beyond to produce high-quality work.

Cons

Throughout the interview process, you are constantly told how this company values growth and there are multiple opportunities to grow, that is a lie. Their performance reviews mean absolutely nothing. When asking how to get promoted, you are always told different things each time. The answer is clear: it is favoritism. After misclassifying the Content Department and underpaying them, they did nothing to fix the lack of trust they've instilled in the department and the CEO has not said a single word regarding the matter. The Content Department was told that we have "competitive wages" for their role. 50k - 64k is no where near competitive, especially for the Bay Area. In fact most of the department cannot even afford to live within the area with the low salary and are forced into long commutes.

Pros

nice coworkers for the most part

Cons

1. pay for this role is between 50,000-62,500 in 2023 in Silicon Valley. Requires employees to come into office 3 days/week. 2. content generalists are paid in the 10th percentile nationally 3. managers insist on talking to every week but have zero power to advocate for you or promote you. every single decision is made based on "visibility" from the CEO. None of it is performance based. In fact, we do not have true performance reviews. 4. job description is inaccurate. asked to do wayyyyyy more for zero recognition, role change, or compensation adjustment 5. attrition rate is insane. we lost 1/2 of the department in the past 6 months.... this includes a director, managers, project leads and multiple generalists 6. Study.com used to be called "Remilon". Look that up on glassdoor, you will see that people had the exact same complaints in 2012. Leadership is unwilling to receive feedback of any kind, unlikely to change
