Pros

Working from home and PTO

Cons

Lexia has taking a horrible turn with numerous waves of layoffs the past few years. This year they just terminated close to 70 positions with no rhyme or reason. We received new territories and took a salary and commission decrease, not just for 2026, but also for 2027! The new management is clueless and has terminated amazing sales and management positions. Current colleagues are leaving left and right and very few people are saying positive things about this toxic management style. Lexia is clearly in financial trouble and has lost sight of the companies philosophy or mission.

Pros

Life/work balance; supportive team; strong work ethic among colleagues; everyone is driven to succeed and put forth their best work. It is an amazing place to work that I have 100% enjoyed.

Cons

Market conditions are really tough right now in EdTech due to the loss of ESSER funds and challenges coming from the federal govenement, which are impacting how many schools can buy our products. This has led to a couple rounds of layoffs, but that is inevitable in today's economic condition.

Pros

I was never overloaded with work, had coworkers who cared about the mission, and the benefits were decent. Lexia was a great place to work until it became part of Cambium.

Cons

The senior managers at Lexia are out of their depth. The company scaled quickly but didn't replace senior managers with people who know how to lead a large company. Past Lexia, at the Cambium level, it is even worse. The current CEO shows up occasionally in all-hands meetings and literally reads from a script, then spends a lot of time posting on LinkedIn about how she's a top CEO. The private equity firm that owns Cambium does what PV firms do - squeeze companies for money until they finally die. This is happening with Lexia now: multiple rounds of layoffs, entire products that are no longer supported, a company culture that expects everyone to always be happy and excited about everything and never push back. It was sad to watch it all fall apart. Relieved I'm no longer in the chaos.
