Pros

Snacks Decent office space Great teammates on the ground level

Cons

I joined the company when it had around 10 employees and spent two years helping it grow to over 80. I was fully committed, received multiple promotions, raises, and contributed massively to the company. Then, without warning, I was let go, no cause, no explanation, just out the door one morning randomly. Despite being promised that no one would be let go without good reason, I was never given one. It felt like everything I had done for the company meant nothing. I have a family to support, and the way I was treated was cold and careless. What they say about valuing people and building a strong culture did not match the reality. If you're considering working here, just know your job may not be as secure as it seems.

Pros

-Will hire remote workers -positive company message -working with schools

Cons

The entire leadership team. They are wildly out of their depth and inexperienced. They very clearly over hired and misread the entire American education market. Step 1 in correction was laying off the marketing team. Step 2 is laying off CSMs, SDRs, and AEs. Classic plunders that happen when a VP and CEO think “more reps = more revenue”. If you’re looking to grow your sales career, look elsewhere. There’s no sales strategy and no territory alignment. Managers will not provide coaching or guidance and will instead revert it directly back on the employee often asking them “what are you going to do to generate revenue” or “what ideas are you bringing to the table”. If you are hired remotely, be double warned. This is not a company that is kind to remote employees and very clearly prefers people in the office. The “positive culture” you are pitched is not reality. If you’re remote and ask a question, you will be met with an attitude that can be summed as “did you ask the AI chat bot we built so we don’t have to talk to you”. The product is also doing far too much while being priced too high in the market. Schools are looking for simplicity and competitive pricing, not something that will double their work and have a school board glaring at them.

Pros

Good work life balance Good team at the ground level

Cons

Be expected to work on a hard to maintain legacy system. Way too much technical debt for the standard of a startup and product of this size.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, and for the kind words about the team and work-life balance, those are things we work hard to protect. You're also pointing at something that we don’t deny. Legacy systems and technical debt are challenges we take seriously, and over the past while we've made significant investments in modernizing our stack and improving the day-to-day developer experience. Just as importantly, we've been sitting down directly with our engineers to understand the friction firsthand and act on it. We're also building toward an AI-enabled engineering org, which is already changing how we work for the better. This kind of change takes time, and honest feedback like yours is part of what moves it forward. We wish you all the best in your next chapter!
