Business outlook
Pros
• Great brand, proud history of delivering quality learning and teaching resources. • Good technology, though rapidly diminishing competitive advantage. • Interesting work, good company mission.
Cons
• Company's performance appears so dire that senior leaders are either jumping ship or being removed. Aim is obviously to 'stabilize' the company to be offloaded to another VC firm. • Failure to invest in anything new has put the company behind the market by 2-3 years. Too late to play catch up... • No real strategy or trajectory. Decision-making is ad-hoc and pivots occur every quarter. • Claim to be global but organization and strategy focused solely on US.
