Pros

Some of the best tech people that I have worked with in years and a focus on the improvement of education in the US

Cons

Too many unqualified people in sales and product development and the Larry Berger's constant development change requests with absolutely no knowledge or caring of what it would take to implement the change killed moral and caused resources that should of been working on improvement and fixing of the existing product were trying to shoehorn in a management change request at the last minute that would just cause the software to fail in product. It is a real shame that the company has come to this especially after spending $400 million dollars on a product that can not be sold.

Pros

There are some very dedicated, talented and well intentioned people who work there. For awhile it felt like the organization was building and doing great things. The salary felt fairly competitive with the industry standard.

Cons

Don't look too closely under the hood if you don't want to stop believing in the illusion. The product is no longer as strong as it once was, the PD and CS have gone way downhill, they care more about profit than people and they are no longer mission driven but success and money driven. They talk a good game, but many people there are ruthless so watch your back. They do a good job of making you feel like it's the best place to work and you are lucky to be there, for awhile, but when the blook is off the rose, watch out.
