Pros

You’ll work with some genuinely great, talented people.

Cons

Constant layoffs... every single year, with no real job stability. Most recent layoff cut top talent, only for the same roles to be reposted later at lower pay. After the private equity takeover, the company shifted entirely to shareholder-first thinking, not education or customers. Executive team lacks diversity (overwhelmingly male), which shows in the decision-making and company priorities. Pay is not competitive for the work required, and OTE targets are not realistically attainable. “Do more with less” became the permanent expectation as resources and support decreased. Culture, communication, benefits, and clarity all declined significantly after the acquisition. Leadership is disconnected, inconsistent, and lacks a clear strategic direction. Overall sense of chaos and reactivity rather than genuine planning. Employee well-being is not a priority.

Pros

Very nice co-workers Benefits are at least average Work life balance is ok, flexible time off and decent holidays Don’t have to work that hard, great place to retire Focused on AI though the foundations for it aren’t there - as if we’re trying to check the box for a board

Cons

Pretty much a start up with terrible systems and processes Little to no investment in any supporting functions rooted in the TB days of prioritizing margin Cross-functional work is disorganized with horrible change management Complacency across the board. Seems like the old people are just waiting for their equity to vest, doing the absolute bare minimum Clearly an edtech company which feels a lot like what the government must be like Atrocious decision making Senior leaders care more about politics and their own egos than making the company better. Like everyone has an agenda I cannot imagine worse systems setup or data
