Pros

Nice and fun people in general! Smart people

Cons

New bureaucracy due to becoming a part of a larger global corporation (McGraw-Hill) It's tough business being an ed-tech company

Advice to Management

Align strategy better from the top, so that it is easier for the middle managers to do their job and execute.

Pros

Great work environment, lunch provided every day, access to other snacks, great location, meaningful work, good pay, everyone feels welcome, good communication across all teams.

Cons

Disorganized, lots of confusion during onboarding, people working remotely made it difficult to communicate in a timely manner.

Advice to Management

Centralize people more, maintain environment, stabilize onboarding process for new hires, be sure to maintain the same laid back, yet efficient environment to keep moral up.

Pros

We have the most comprehensive suite of software solutions in the markets we work/sell. The features and benefits are second to none and provide various levels of value to clients in our markets.

Cons

There is little or no strategic vision or sales strategies in which we sell. The marketing support materials are limited (or non existent). The sales goal objectives are consistently not-realistic.

Advice to Management

You have high level talent that you are going to lose if you do not address the vision, sales goal and marketing issues of your organization.
