I loved working in an organization with such a great mission.

ProsThe 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.

ConsThe management is not strong and direction changes constantly which causes the working environment to be extremely frustrating at times.

Advice to Senior ManagementPick a direction and stick to it. Value good employees and make them aware of it. Communicate company information clearly to staff at all times.

ProsThey gave me ownership over a project despite being an intern

ConsI didn't notice too many downsides when I worked there but it felt like their management may have been a bit unstructured

Great people passionate about such a worthy cause.

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at GreatSchools

ProsPeople 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.

ConsAside from working on projects, there's very little communication between departments. Events are scheduled where we can get in touch, which really helps.
