Pros

-Culture: The company has a collaborative and friendly environment. People actually care about the mission of the company and seem excited about their work. -Opportunity for personal growth: At least within the data science teams (both analytics and machine learning) there are many knowledgeable people to learn from and collaborate with. I've been especially surprised by some of the managers high level of technical knowledge.

Cons

Our brand is not well recognized but we've just started putting more effort behind it.

Pros

Super Flexible when it comes to the events you want to host

Cons

Reimbursements are difficult with their system.

Pros

It's fun, business is booming and the compensation is very nice. They also offer really good benefits that are hard to match. Engineering-wise, the company is undergoing pretty amazing growth and there is lots of work to be done (which is an exciting thing).

Cons

The campus is nice but kind of out on an island where there isn't much else. It can sometimes be a very difficult commute just on account of the 101 traffic.

Pros

Collaborative, mutually supportive community. Focused on getting things done, solving issues, and helping each other.

Cons

Feels almost to good to be true? Might be new hire shininess, might be a secret cult in the basement? That being said, I think a lot of the joy for me is the culture fit. I want a team based, work together, help each other up when you fall, everyone shares credit when you succeed workplace, with a focus on making real, traceable improvements based on metrics and high transparency. That is Course Hero down to the ground.

Advice to Management

Keep it up! Be careful to maintain the culture and values during the current rapid expansion... maybe implement some of the suggestions about writing down our core values and posting them everywhere. :)
