Pros

When you start working at a new company it can be difficult to adjust and know how you are doing. At my previous job I almost never met with my manager to get feedback but at CA I've got a great schedule worked out to meet every couple weeks. Not only do I get feedback from my manager but other managers have given me feedback as well. So far I've found this to be really great in helping me figure out where I'm at. The company is growing fast and it looks like there are always opportunities opening up. Some cool perks include a gym and a cafeteria with subsidized lunches, though they are a bit small and the options are limited. Rob Waldron, the CEO, shows interests and works directly with employees at multiple levels. He really seems to love the company and gives great engaging presentations.

Cons

The company is located in Billerica which isn't the greatest place to commute to. I wish they were a bit closer to the city. There are sometimes options to work from home but I don't feel like there is a clear policy. You get some office politics and people occasionally no following policies put in place that makes our jobs easier. This ends up causing more headaches but doesn't happen that often.

Thanks for sharing this review. We have a pretty wonderful team of managers dedicated to your success at CA and are delighted you’re receiving feedback to guide your career and taking advantage of additional learning opportunities. We appreciate your feedback on variability in work from home opportunities and training plans. Departments have different dynamics due to varying responsibilities and degrees of in-person collaboration needed, so we leave it up to you and your manager to determine the best approach to remote work. We also encourage you to speak to your manager about opportunities for growth on your own team and meet with managers on other teams to learn where CA could take you. Don’t forget about our professional development content on our ECP Learning Portal. We hope you’ll check it out and thanks again for your thoughtful review ! - Shrina

Pros

Before working at Curriculum Associates, I was an elementary teacher using i-Ready in my classroom for both reading and math. It was such an important resource to me... so much so that I actually remember Googling "how to work for i-Ready" because I wanted to learn more about the company behind it! That eventually led me to the EdTech Fellowship, which gave me the chance to see the corporate side of education after only really knowing the classroom side. I really enjoyed the fellowship and knew pretty quickly that I wanted to stay at CA if there was ever an opportunity. I’ve now been here for almost two years and have had the unique experience of being in the fellowship, a temporary role, and now a full-time role. I’ve truly had a great experience in each stage and have felt supported as I’ve continued to grow and learn. One thing I really appreciate about CA is how mission-aligned people are. As someone who has been both a teacher using the product and now an employee working behind the scenes, I can say that people here care about supporting teachers and students. That shared purpose makes the work feel meaningful and makes it easy to feel connected to the people around you!!

Cons

The transition from teaching into the corporate world can come with a learning curve (which I think the Ed Tech Fellowship really helped with!)

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s especially meaningful to hear from someone who first experienced i-Ready in the classroom and later joined the team through the EdTech Fellowship. We’re so glad to hear you’ve felt supported throughout each stage of your journey at Curriculum Associates. Knowing that the mission and care for teachers and students has felt genuine both inside and outside the classroom means a lot to us. We also appreciate you mentioning the transition from teaching into the corporate world. That shift can definitely come with a learning curve, and we’re glad the fellowship helped make it feel more approachable. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for being part of the team!
