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.

The most I've ever learned, the best team I've ever worked with and the most fun I've ever had.

Pros

- Working for a company that you can stand behind proudly for its efforts to make education more accessible, saving students money and time, and helping them make better decisions about their educational choices. - Company bowling league, beach day, team events, snacks, meals, beer cart Thursday, happy hour Friday, Hack-a-thons, innovation Fridays, company-wide team building events, celebration trips to Las Vegas - FUN, FUN, FUN! - Working with some of the most intelligent people that are willing to help you learn and grow (and that are fun). - Having endless opportunities to work on many different things. - Working in an environment full of collaboration, learning, fun, excitement, humor... and friendships. - A company that is financially stable and has a clear vision for strategic growth. - Highly competitive compensation plans and benefits

Cons

- Tremendous amount of growth within a small period of time can make it hard to keep the culture stable. The company seems to be doing a great job so far, but just be weary. - A ton of meetings... granted we are in a high growth time and brainstorming new ideas is critical. - Too many snacks causes lots of munching (thank goodness for the gym membership)

Pros

I've been at Study.com for over 5 years and have seen it grow from a small company of 10 employees to over 70. The clear leadership has helped sustain this growth and create a a culture that makes coming to work each day enjoyable and inspiring. Some key pros: * There is a focus on teamwork and goals, which means there is no politics or egos * Inspiring mission to make education accessible means we're working on an exciting educational product that is making a difference for people every day * Leadership trusts employees and empowers them to grow * Employees are rewarded for being strong contributors by getting increased responsibility and compensation * The company moves fast, making it an exciting place to work * The company constantly iterates on processes and products, so that if something isn't going well, you can expect to see improvements * There is transparency across the whole company so everyone has the opportunity to know what each team is working on * Employees are incredibly smart and talented and genuinely like each other. * Decisions are data driven and clearly communicated to the company * We use scrum to get work done, which leads to buy in and team ownership of projects

Cons

We're growing quickly and encountering some growing pains. HR and the executives are doing a great job of trying to maintain the culture but we're encountering a few bumps as we grow. It can also be hard to maintain focus and prioritize because there are so many great ideas to pursue.

I'm so glad you appreciate our transparency. We've worked hard over the years to make sure that employees have insight into what the company is working on and why. In addition to quarterly kick offs and wrap ups that are presented to the whole company, each initiative team records a demo of their work every two weeks. These demos are available to everyone, and even aired during catered Monday lunches. If you don't know where to find the demos, feel free to ask anyone on the HR team as we'd love to share them with you! We know that it can be hard to stay focused since there are so many great ideas. We start each quarter fresh by evaluating ideas and prioritizing them so that initiative teams can stay focused on the highest value projects. But don't worry, your ideas are not forgotten. We keep a backlog of all ideas so they can be evaluated again. And you can always use your Innovation Friday or hackathon time to prototype an idea and prove concept.
