Pros

Worked with a great team

Cons

Management flip flopped on major issues multiple times within short timeframes The company is run by engineers; no clue what the K-12 market really needs and wants Regardless of job performance; you will be eliminated without a thought CEO and second only communicate with their favorite teams; they have no idea how many good people they have lost

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
