Pros

Joined during Shelter in Place and the onboarding experience was amazing. Growing and evolving start-up that's taking on the biggest social challenges like curing disease and improving education for the betterment of all... It is the perfect marriage of experts across education, science, housing and immigration reform, with the brightest minds in engineering, product and design. It is astonishing to see the products that our teams bring to life that are making a real difference...like the Learning Platform. All in all, it feels great working for a company that truly aims to improve people’s lives.

Cons

Whenever you mix academics, FANG engineers and reform-minded experts from different walks of life, there's bound to be some missteps along the way. But the mission and values serve as the north-star to get teams back on track.

Pros

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a meaningful chapter of my career. Intelligent, mission-driven, low-ego colleagues, inspiring work, and many opportunities to learn and grow. It’s also one of the few places I’ve worked where you don’t have to trade off between enjoying the work, good compensation, and a healthy work-life balance. Even having been impacted by layoffs, I remain very grateful for the experience.

Cons

Increase volatility in recent years with restructuring. Hopefully things settle with clearer strategic direction in place.

Pros

Lots of smart people to work with and learn from. Onsite office is great.

Cons

Leadership and middle management will do anything to make themselves look good to c-levels , will go as far as taking credit for work not done by them. Every 3-4 months for years and prior to me working there, org goals change at a dime with no heads up and expectations are to perform excellently.
