Pros

A friendly environment with a good work-life balance and not too much pressure

Cons

The company has a very top-down, one-voice culture. On the surface, it may seem like there are options, but they are usually about trivial matters. When it comes to more important decisions, some leaders make choices purely based on their own ideas, even if those ideas are wrong. Some engineers have limited technical ability but hold relatively high positions. As a result, the company’s systems are unstable, issues happen frequently, and projects drag on much longer than expected. However, in reports, it is always presented as if everything is going well and a lot has been accomplished. Communication skills are valued more than technical skills, which creates a strong sense of contradiction. The sunk cost within the company is also very high. Regardless of position, some people always want to appear capable, even when they are not. This often leaves others to clean up the mess afterward.

Pros

not many pros. The classroom managment tool is decent but thats about it

Cons

CEO is inexperienced and it shows. He is a has been from Go Guardian and tries to run the business like he is there. The product doesnt stand up to the competition because they are lacking a web filter and a safety product. The partnership they did have fell apart (Deledao) and because it was a good product most customers have opted to do business with them or others directly. Quotas are high and no one hits them all the while they have zero true development to enhance tools This place is smoke in mirrors.
