Pros

In my experience, management is totally behind the "family first" concept and respects employees' ability to balance work and life without requiring time-clock punching. The company also provides lots of personal education opportunities to employees.

Cons

It's a very, very large company. Sometimes it's hard to know what's going on in related areas because of the number of people and locations invovled.

Pros

Working on EdTech and helping improve educational outcome. Caring coworkers, altruistic & mission driven, etc.

Cons

Pay is reasonable for working in the education field but is slightly lower than working in other parts of tech.

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.
