Pros

Technically my tenure at Boundless was less than a month, though I was a full time employee of POLS for four years. During my time in that organization I can confidently say that my coworkers there were amazing. They were kind, hardworking and dedicated people, who wanted to do right by their students and partners. Full stop, this is the only redeeming quality of the company.

Cons

Lay offs - Boundless was acquired by an operating company that essentially bought POLS for scrap. A bulk of us were blindsided and terminated for being top earners (we were specifically told that performance was not the reason we were laid off). I always got back stellar performance reviews, and had a great working relationship with those around me. It simply boiled down to I made too much money (I was underpaid by industry standards fwiw). Leadership - Kees (current CEO not reflected here on Glassdoor) and team are at best completely disconnected from the business. There are alarming inefficiencies at all levels of the company, many of which could be turned around. But the amount of arguing, miscommunication and lack of process surrounding any business improvements result in a complete stall of progress. This trickles down to the director level pretty regularly, and the only leadership I could ever reliably count on working with me were my direct managers. Most of the time their hands were tied to make any meaningful impact. Poor outlook - It's pretty clear Boundless will be belly up within the next year or so. Internally they were losing partnerships left and right, they are bleeding money, and the OPM market is definitely on the decline from 2020. POLS/Boundless used to be the number one provider in the market, and has since continuously slipped behind competition that is also currently floundering. If I had to guess, Pearson "sold" POLS to Regent to make it Boundless simply to remove any obligations from severance and PTO payouts and call that a job well done.

Pros

Some good people are left there, not many though.

Cons

All of it. 2 weeks before I was laid off with no PTO payout or any kind of severance, I was assured by my leader that my role would be safe. I have never witnessed such a bare faced liar in all of my corporate life. This company has no strategy, lies to its academic partners and will not last. Regent make the wolf of wall street look like a saint by comparison.

Pros

You'll get a pizza party when the upper management team visits to tell you they have no plan for the future.

Cons

When Boundless Learning was separated from Pearson Online Learning Services, it has been nothing but incompetence and bad news. Immediately upon the announcement, employees were told that we are no longer going to get severance, we will no longer get retirement matching, we will be forced to return to an office, and that there were going to be reductions. Management tried to offset this by saying they have plans to improve our situation after our "get fit" phase, which occurred in August of 2023. After losing many key members of our teams to layoffs during that "get fit" phase, we were told the worst times were behind us and now is the time for growth. After my team scrambled to figure out a new workflow after losing some key members of our team, we were made aware that we were actually no longer out of the "get fit" phase and my whole team was let go as well. From the beginning management has promised that we were working on new deals and trying to find new partners. Instead, we have seen nothing but angry existing partners and no new business coming in.
