Avoid - Anonymous- Finance Newsela Employee Review

Newsela has improved over the years, I’ve been here a while and can definitely say newer additions and talent coming in over recent month and years is strong. I think at this point based on company performance it can be said that newer leadership has moved us forward from the cash burning days of yesteryear. There were some changes in the middle, but the company needed it and it’s clearly paying off.

There is a lot going on with AI. While this is good and keeps us relevant, it’s just a lot to keep up with. But at least we won’t be dinosaurs.

Lovely people across the company. Many are former teachers passionate about helping students.

Leadership is ruthless and makes decisions for seemingly no reason. Employees are expected to move mountains with no support. CEO is cold and uninspiring.
