Pros

edCount is full of very smart individuals who are committed to making a difference in the education arena. While the work can be demanding at times, it is both interesting and fulfilling.

Cons

None - I am a firm believer that you get out of an experience what you put into it. It's all in one's attitude.

Pros

Amazing co-workers, lots of flexibility, ability to telecommute, interesting projects, generous 401k contributions.

Cons

No leadership, no benefits, extensive travel, no job security, very low compensation. edCount is a revolving door! Key staff members who have dedicated years of loyal service are randomly let go and everyone is suppose to go about their business as though that staff member never worked at the company. Also the company will do anything and everything to please their clients, often times at the cost of the staff. edCount often takes on project with impossible deadlines and then works the staff to the bone to get the work done. Seventy hour work weeks seem to be the norm the weeks deliverables are due and managers look at you weirdly when you refuse to work that hard. The company claims to be flat, but really it is absolutely in the hands of the managing associates. The CEO has officially checked out.
