Pros

Mainly great rank and file employees, who truly want to be successful and provide value for a mission, outcome based organization.

Cons

Culture of fear, that is driven from the top of the org down through the ranks. The real test of character reveals itself in times of duress, and unfortunately for the employees who are on pins and needles, the executive/senior leadership team has shown who they truly are. Ultimately, this shows up in the way that a company brand is represented, and becomes a contributor to negative growth, and a weapon for competitors to steal market share.

Pros

Great time with deep industry expertise. Most of our products are best in industry. Our people are the best in the industry. You will work with inspired, ambitious, and dedicatd teammates who push and inspire you to grow. There is ample opportunity here to learn and grow intellectually.

Cons

Firm career growth is limited. As THE major player in education technology, employees tend to stay in their roles. Low turnover alongside a more unpleasant notion of retaining interdepartment limits movement within a company that otherwise should be abundant with trajectory for those looking to learn and earn including in other departments and roles. CS program is still developing but strong than many other orgs. CS does not carry much influence but that seems to be developing as well. Recent lay offs prioritized savings through automation. Framed as meeting customer needs but most CSMs agree that cutting product and support roles at a net loss. While replacing some of those cuts offshore and with AI might be a bright vision, it is currently a far cry from realization. That will likely take form longterm, but short-term the compensation has not kept up with the demand of the workload. Some acquired products are a real nuisance to say the least.
