Pros

- Impactful Work: Developing educational games for children is genuinely fulfilling—you see the direct positive impact on learning. - Great Colleagues: The team includes some of the most talented and kind-hearted people I’ve worked with.

Cons

- Lack of Stability: No consistent engineering direction—pivots happen annually, sometimes with entire teams being let go and rebuilt. - Process Void: Almost no established workflows, leading to inefficiency and frustration. - Innovation Blockers: Even with clear ROI, getting approval for new tools or processes is an uphill battle.

Thank you for leaving a review. We agree that we are very lucky to have such a friendly community of colleagues and are glad to hear this was also your experience. Flexible working is something that we champion as we know how important it is for colleague wellbeing. The rate we pay contractors is dependent upon a number of factors including frequency of hours, location, experience etc, but we are confident that we pay contractors a fair rate of pay for the countries in which they live. Finally, the education industry is fast moving and the needs of educators are constantly changing. As a business we need to be adaptable to meet those needs, this does make change an ongoing necessity. While it may not always be visible, our leadership discussions involve thoughtful debate and consideration and we are committed to supporting colleagues through periods of change. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and all the best for the future.
