Pros
Right from the beginning, I’ve had an amazing experience at Goalbook. I learned about Goalbook through a recruiter and I was not sure if I was ready to make the leap to a for-profit, education setting. I was content in my previous role and wasn’t on the job hunt. But from my first interview I found a passionate team, many of whom are former educators. I had two onsite interviews where I got to meet various team members. Everyone I met during the interview process was responsive and excited about helping educators be successful in the classroom. Now that I work here, the transition from nonprofit to for-profit has been seamless. Everyone is friendly and made me feel welcomed on my first day. At Goalbook I have colleagues who are mission-driven and committed to education -- similar to the teams I worked on in the education/nonprofit settings. Additionally, there are many opportunities to collaborate and build bonds across the various teams, such as partnerships and engineering, through the open workspace and team lunches. Goalbook makes it a point to ensure that everyone can continue their commitment to education while growing both personally and professionally.
Cons
None that I can think of so far
