Pros

In general, my personal team was a pleasure to work with. We got to use relevant and new technology, as well as try out new AI tooling

Cons

AI is getting shoved down everyone's throat ATM, layoffs happened at the beginning of September and middle management is very hit or miss. Leaders seem to lead from an "ivory tower". Promotions have stagnated

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
