They really know how to fake it! Will make this place feel like the most amazing place you've ever worked for until they don't need you anymore. They make it seem like they have this amazing culture where they value and care for their employees so much, but they will not stand by that when the hard times come around. They kept gradually letting go of people and hiding the reasons by saying that the role "was not relevant anymore." Until half of the company was laid off from one afternoon to the next morning, no notice, no humanity or empathy when delivering the awful news. The severity of the situation was never even mentioned during any of the company weekly meetings. I continuously met targets and worked hard to bring revenue to the company, this was not taken into account when they picked and chose who to let go of. HR said that if they hadn't done this, the company would have had to completely shut down by September 2023, doesn't sound like a workplace I'd like to be part of. Made sense to later hear that the head of people had jumped ship after the lay offs! All the leadership roles are filled with the CEO's besties, mostly men who will just hire their other guy friends and give them a sense of autonomy over other female coworkers that actually have their same job title. The worst part is that the product itself is literally crap, like something that was built years ago and in my time at the company I saw no improvement of this.

This is basically a sales company disguised as an ed-tech. There's not really a clear vision of what the company's mission is and it's mostly a chase of what will bring quick revenue, meaning pretty much everything is built to MVP stage and then dropped to make room for the next sales target and nothing is followed through because quality is not a priority for leadership. Some key elements of the leadership team don't have the necessary experience which results in subpar decisions affected by poor domain knowledge. A lot of apparent good intentions but that are very much lip service be it salary benchmarks (where they will still offer people the minimum possible anyway), progression (if you want to move, it's completely up to you to figure out how because there's no development support) or diversity (not at all clear what the policy on that is other than a slack channel).
