      Great Mission, Poor Management, All Talk with Very little Action

      Pros

      The coworkers are very intelligent individuals who are dedicated to the mission. They all pitch in and do their very best. The mission is also great, just wish the employees had the opportunity to experiment and discover how things work.

      Cons

      The management especially the CEO is the biggest reason why the organization is the way it is. It is filled with mistrust. The management feel that everyone need to be micromanaged. Instead of guiding and encouraging their employees to be creative they scold when mistakes are made. For an education organization, it's pretty sad that management doesn't understand that mistakes happen as a process of learning. What's more sickening is that if management do not know how to have a spirited debate. If someone suggests something that does not meet their ideas they just shoot that person down without giving any thought. This leads to a corrosive and demoralizing environment.

      Great Coworkers, Poor Management

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The people that work at CK-12 are like one big family. Everyone is courteous and there are a lot of celebrations that make birthdays and life events special. Also, FREE HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION! THAT'S AMAZING!

      Cons

      Management is wishy-washy, and has created a hostile work environment. There is a lid put on creativity and the dev team is held to different standards than the content team which has made the company culture a divided one.

      Pros

      CK-12 has a great mission to help all students around the world and a team of passionate individuals who want to make that mission a reality. The majority of the people I worked with at CK-12 were highly motivated, well educated and intelligent individuals with great ideas and experience in the education industry. The company brings in lunch daily for all employees and outdoor picnics tables allow for lunchtime collaboration and a nice break in the day. Expect monthly socials and other fun ways to break the monotony of a regular work week. Dog friendly office.

      Cons

      Management has very little trust or faith in employees, preferring to micromanage and dictate work instead of allowing employees to execute on ideas and experiment with new ways to improve the organization. The organization is brought together regularly to innovate as a team, but in the end, management gets the final call and if it's not what they want, too bad. Little support is given for professional growth. Fairly quick turnover.
