Pros

Company had a long history of "brave, imaginative, decent" activity. Product Development always worked hard but created top notch curriculum materials that made us proud. Team atmosphere; people who are continue to strive for the best.

Cons

Recent changes in leadership have forced a vendor system. Time to market is more important than anything else. Quality suffers. Hard to feel successful when you can't do your job well. No bonuses; poor communication.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
