    Good culture / Poor upward mobility or inter-org transparency

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great culture where people genuinely seem motivated by making a difference for students. Mission driven. Forward thinking.

    Cons

    Somewhat on the way to break the blockers and silos between teams but it still feels disconnected and almost never know what other teams are doing. Seen a lot of great people leave or get let go that should have been more valued and/or given a promotion.

    Micromanagement and high turnover culture

    Mar 1, 2023 - Ops Specialist 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The company has a strong brand and reputation in the industry. They offer health insurance. The company offers remote work.

    Cons

    In my opinion, these are the cons: The toxic workplace culture is causing a high turnover rate and negative impact on employee mental health. The punitive management style is stifling creativity and innovation among staff. The disorganized executive leadership is causing inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

    Amazing Team

    Oct 24, 2022 - Software Engineering Writer/Instructor in Denver, CO
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Really rewarding, mission-driven job with brilliant and creative teammates. It's fun and deeply fulfilling to get to know the students as they progress through big steps in learning and changing their career direction. Great work-life balance! Really supportive environment. Really solid benefits through Stride, the parent company. Super-flexible remote work. Kind team members and responsive leadership. Strong values placed on ethics, diversity and inclusion. Instructors are given a lot of creative freedom in shaping their lessons and helping to build new features in the learning management systems.

    Cons

    None so far - the curriculum is new, so there's iterative improvements being made, always with student interests at heart. A lot of data being collected on how students are doing from lecture to lecture, and where improvements need to be made.
