Desmos Reviews

The team is a delight to work with. The people here are not only extremely competent at what they do (teaching, design, business, engineering, etc...), but are also thoughtful, communicative and responsible - a pleasure to collaborate with. Even though we are primarily a frontend (javascript) shop, we do get to solve diverse and interesting problems - from the theoretical, algorithm-heavy work of rendering equations and creating our own scripting language, to the design and human-centered problems of creating very specific pedagogical interactions. The mission of the company is great, and it is the most beloved ed-tech company in the world (just search for desmos on Twitter). I regularly get stopped on the street when wearing my company shirt by math teachers who love our stuff. The company culture is also fantastic! We have flexible schedules and I work from home once or twice a week, since my commute is around 45 minutes. Sleep and time off work is seriously valued by everyone, as many people who work here have families and kids.

- Principled, purpose-driven team and leadership - Excellent work/life balance - Serious dedication to building a high-quality product that is good for students and teachers - Fun engineering problems
