Pros

- Work is remote friendly - Most Individual contributers are helpful, smart and talented.

Cons

Product culture is focused on pleasing leadership rather than solving real user needs. Expect extreme micromanagement, a lack of transparency in decision-making, and an unsaid expectation to work after hours. One of the worst organizations I have worked for in my 10+ year career.

The team I worked with was consistent and reliable. My supervisor was especially supportive.

Cons

It's an edtech startup, so everything changes quickly. New rules for writing and citations, SEO team updates, etc.
