Pros
Though there have been some big org changes this year that have course have caused some hesitation among some longer-term or former employees, I really enjoy working for Learning A-Z. I know that my management wants to see me succeed and they support me in any way they can, both professionally and personally. My team is rooted in collaboration and empathy. The benefits are great and I am encouraged to use them in full. I see the value in the changes that have been made recently and know that it will only go up from here, and I am excited to be along for the ride. I highly recommend Laz and the direction it's going in.
Cons
It can be difficult to work with the longer-term employees who are upset about the org changes that have happened recently. Though they have the ability to choose to go elsewhere if they do not agree with the forward motion Laz is making, they have chosen to stay and tend to bring negativity to the table.

Pros
Remote work, reimbursement for office supplies/gym/cell phone benefits
Cons
This company is falling apart like other EdTech companies. Leadership constantly changes priorities and keeps doing too much without the right infrastructure in place. They keep telling us they have a commitment to staff and being the employer of choice, but we’ve experienced yet another round of layoffs, they pushed out the president, and they cut the head of DEIB after only a few months. It’s hard to watch what was a great company crash and burn.

Pros
There aren’t many anymore unfortunately

Layoffs - multiple layoffs. Going into the fifth or sixth round of them

Pros
Great people working in the trenches.
Cons
Best company values money can buy! Too bad they don't actually practice the values they preach. Beware of propaganda before you buy in.

Pros
Great people to work with.
Cons
Horrible environment of fear created by former president Lisa O'Masta. Maybe it will be better since she left.

Pros
Allowing employees the option to work remotely, (because I had to submit something as a "Pro".)
Cons
Witness the complete and utter decimation of a once wonderful, thriving, mission-driven organization! If you are in any way, shape, or form interested in a clinic on how to take a viable, successful, caring culture with, literally, a 100% retention rate and turn it into a soulless hell scape of grey, corporate culture, then look no further! You came to the right place! Revel in the pleasure of working for a VC Pump and Dump, where your skills will be valued about as much as the dogs the CEO left behind when they moved West to take the job!

Pros
Good benefits, remote or hybrid environment (they are flexible and willing to work with your needs and your location), great product and many great people to work with.
Cons
Growing pains (complete shift in the way the business is structured) caused layoffs and hiring externally instead of internally. This used to be a small company but is now becoming more and more corporate and the higher ups seem to care less about their employees than they used to. At a company where I thought I had job security, there is actually no job security whatsoever now.

Pros
Great peer group. I really loved the people I worked with on a daily basis.
Cons
Employees are not valued. Three rounds of layoffs in the last three years with lots of excellent employees let go. Each time, the remaining employees are left confused and alarmed with too much work and are asked to take on roles that are not in their job description. The company has also had a ton of turnover within the senior leadership team. As a result, no one seems to be steering the ship, and the regular employees are left wondering, speculating, and worrying about their job security.
