Pros

Product is beloved by educators. People are kind.

Cons

An infrastructural and data nightmare. Sales teams don’t have accurate data to manage their business but are held to data metrics for compensation. It makes you feel incompetent and crazy. “Leadership” is either totally out of touch or just cashing their comfy paychecks while the folks holding it all together apologize to customers about crappy operations.

Pros

Hybrid schedule with only 1 day/week in office The people are amazing - I truly like everyone I work with! Communication from leadership is timely & transparent. Fully built out teams who genuinely support each other Lots of fun events, employee gifts, teambuilding, volunteer day, onsites/offsites, and opportunities to socialize Weekly catered lunch & fully stocked office snacks/beverages

Cons

Coming from the retail/restaurant industry, it's a much slower pace than I was used to. It's not necessarily a "con" but just a different, more thoughtful approach to work.

Pros

BrainPOP's product is really loved, so the employees who choose to work here are super passionate and thoughtful. New leadership over the last year has really stabilized the company and is now solidifying a strong strategy. Culture is strong, nice people, flexible PTO- very employee friendly.

Cons

Salaries are lower than in big tech, and Ed-Tech is not currently the easiest market to navigate. The company has gone through a lot of change since being acquired in 2022- feels like stabilization is finally happening.
