Pros
Appear to be run by a bright financial acquisition team with a talent for buying learning software and technology companies that are undervalued.
Cons
Primarily a holding company that will not hesitate to reduce the staff from the companies they acquire by methodically eliminating top and middle level positions across all departments. There does not appear to be a true assessment of the value of the employee by the staff at the holding company. Senior management comes across as being compassionate but their actions tell a different story in layoffs and communication. Extremely cost and metric based. Objective appears to be eliminate higher paid experienced staffers with younger, less mature personnel. Principals appear more interested in stock valuation than in developing their newly acquired teams. A great deal of mystery during the transition relative as to who will remain and who will be asked to leave. Never was asked for any input on how to improve the overall business.
