EdTec reviews

-Headquarters are located in a great area in Emeryville with access to public transportation and convenient parking. -Pseudo start-up culture with multiple company sponsored events for employees. -Opportunity to work closely with charter schools.

I loved (and now miss) the work environment and culture in the office. There was a work hard-play hard mentality, a flexible work schedule, and a collaborative group of colleagues who were more than willing to help each other with challenges. The management team was accessible and I thought very easy to speak to. I think there are opportunities for career advancement and ways to carve out projects and specialize in areas one desires. I also enjoyed working with other departments within the company - payroll/accounting/data/admin/mgmt - good people in each department, and supporting schools well takes the entire team, which I believe is there. Salary/benefits/etc. were pretty good, while salary reviews & bonuses were done annually and I believe in a good/fair manner. Working directly with schools was very rewarding - collaborating with directors to align their budgets strategically was a process I usually enjoyed (more on this topic soon). I was fortunate to support some schools which were definitely providing learning opportunities and succeeding with students in neighborhoods which unfortunately hadn't had enough success with students in the past. It's fun and challenging (in a good way) to help successful schools grow so that they can provide more students with an outstanding quality education.
