Pros
Friendly people, fun "Social Hour" with wine, beer, food every Thursday, great 401k, nice office space.
Cons
There is a distinct lack of vision and leadership from the executive layer, a bloated un-empowered middle-management layer, and as a result, a demotivated and directionless layer of people at the ground level. The core product has floundered for years, failing to successfully deliver real value as a result of chasing the market and selling what it doesn't have rather than improving what it does. It has become a company led by politics and profit which is a true pity since most of the ground workers are truly passionate about making a difference in education.

Pros
WebAssign helps educators by allowing them to teach instead of wasting time grading homework. Serving educators is the reason most of us are here. Even though our future doesn't look very hopeful, morale is holding steady. While the desertion rate has risen, it is still limited to those who can find other jobs.
Cons
The company is going through a rough period. We have lost our primary breadwinner and our revenue will be significantly curtailed over the coming years as they replace us. This information has escaped into the general population and it has made hiring very problematic. We have 20 open positions mostly in sales and software development. Most of the executives don't have a background in education or innovation.
