Bill Jackson
I worked at GreatSchools full-time for more than a year
Pros – Very nice and professional team, inspiring project, aspirational goals and objectives.

I worked at GreatSchools full-time
Pros – The mission is great and most of the people employed at GS are passionate about it and it shows through the work they do. It is also a family friendly organization and most managers allow for work/life balance.
Cons – The management is not strong and direction changes constantly which causes the working environment to be extremely frustrating at times.
Advice to Senior Management – Pick a direction and stick to it. Value good employees and make them aware of it. Communicate company information clearly to staff at all times.

Pros – They gave me ownership over a project despite being an intern
Cons – I didn't notice too many downsides when I worked there but it felt like their management may have been a bit unstructured

I have been working at GreatSchools
Pros – People seem genuinely interested in education and working towards the organization's mission. Agree that there's a good balance of work and life here. Location in Downtown SF ideal for picturesque walks and great food.
Cons – Aside from working on projects, there's very little communication between departments. Events are scheduled where we can get in touch, which really helps.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
