Pros

Saavy, scrappy CEO who knew how to navigate a dramatically changing market place (post-COVID, arrival of AI, VC market upheaval) Good culture, remote-first approach to work. Most people were high-performing Leadership team was strong

Cons

Grew too fast, and had to make deep cuts when ZIRP ended.

Pros

- Team is small but mighty. It's a great group of smart, dedicated, funny, kind people who have your back no matter what. This includes leadership and the CEO. - Great product. I really believe we have the best product in edtech and are building the best product in AI education. - Great members. It's fun to work for a company that people care a lot about and are loyal to. - Lots of responsibility. You can own a ton of projects/initiatives and learn a lot. - Good work culture. Lots of work but decent work/life balance, fun events, yearly offsites, etc. - Interesting problem to work on / solve.

Cons

- Same challenges as most startups: Growth is very up and down. In the midst of a big pivot which can be stressful. Too much work for too few people. Comp and benefits are meh. - The founder (SG) isn't involved in the day to day, so don't join if you think you're going to get to work with him - No 401k, very few perks except for spot gifts here and there
