Pros
Lots of natural light in the office. If you want a place to show up and do less than challenging work on a daily basis, this is the place for you. That is the job security factor. Fresh fruit once a week and the unoriginal usual offering of chips, soda, candy, coffee stuff plus the equally unoriginal beer/wine once a week thing.
Cons
Everything about it is lackluster, out dated and stale; the "culture", technology, innovation and reoccurring "struggles" of the company as a whole. Management has no clue how to mindfully engage much less walk the walk the expect of others. Drones for the most part. Advancement? Unless this is your first job, don't expect to be compensated (annual reviews are subjective; the review "formula" for rating is kept hidden from employees) nor find a path to higher career success. Purse-strings for annual "bonus" are pulled tight and equally as subjective. There are none with no where for a person with any experience to go in this company.

Pros
The company desires to help educators and students. We are located on the NCSU campus. Access to the greenway is a short walk. A career alternative to teaching. We get to learn perl and html. One-third of our employees are academics with advanced degrees in science and math.
Cons
The education industry has changed over the past decade and WebAssign is not keeping up. We have been too conservative in our approach to strategy and product development. Management problems have plagued the company for 3+ years and are still present. After the founder passed away several years ago, we lacked strong leadership that can craft a real strategic mission and vision, not just words on paper. We have many educators in the building but none of them are in senior leadership positions. (We love our CAO but he doesn’t count since he has no power to make changes.) Publishers are building similar content delivery systems and they will no longer need us in 5 years. We don’t have a plan B.
