Pros

Nice people, a lot of former educators that really care about the mission and making learning better for students. Great product with a lot of innovations.

Cons

VP of sales is shady and slimy and does a bunch of terrible things for company as a whole. Lies about numbers and about bonus compensation, for example we didn’t even know our numbers for an entire year, no way to verify pay and progress to goal, etc. Super messy and unprofessional. Sales managers underneath VP all operate like a cult, there’s a lot of nepotism and favoritism in the upper management and a lot of the males in those roles don’t know what they’re doing and aren’t actually managing their teams. Horrible bosses to work for- high expectations when they themselves don’t do much of anything, and they just don’t care about their people. Could care less about you as a person. An education company should do better!!

Pros

- Super chill work life balance - Extremely manageable expectations - Nice co workers

Cons

- Lack of proper engineering principles and quality code - Poor infrastructure and dev tooling - optimized for getting feature/business needs quickly and cheaply (technical debt). Not good for engineers who want build systems for the future - No engineering driven initiatives (all product/exec driven)
