- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
flexible hours and work-life balance
Cons
toxic culture of lack of ownership, managers throwing people under the bus, layoffs every six months with new managers every six months or a year at most. People being assigned to jobs with no experience or qualifications due to layoffs.

RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great employees, decent benefits, work life balance, well recognized brand.
Cons
LGBTQ, black, Asian, South Asian, hispanics are not treated well and almost none in senior leadership roles. Maybe a token or 2? Considering that they do business with the government, a blistering EOC audit is inevitable in 2021. Very few black or hispanic men!!!

- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
CEO Simon Allen is a fantastic leader who is very candid with everyone in the company. There is a strong desire to make education equitable and truly be a learning science company. Everything during the stay-at-home orders has been very flexible and focused on keeping the employees safe.
Cons
Often like to keep workers on as contract rather than hired employees. The company has been working on the work-life balance issue for years, still a work in progress.
