Pros
-Working on a product that impacts over a million children -Ability to work remote -Competitive vacation package (two weeks at Christmas, 1 week over the fourth of July, + 10 days off) -401k match
Cons
-No professional development / reviews -No upward mobility (if a senior level position opens, they hire externally) -Raises are few and far between (most employees are denied them with a vague promise to revisit in the future) -ZERO transparency (all company wide decisions are made in secret by top management and then announced – with no explanation – no matter how employees are affected) -Employees are undervalued and micromanaged due to management's general distrust in each employee's skill level -Management constantly changes employees jobs and teams around without consultation or opinion -Workplace in general lacks diversity (pro: many female employees; however, predominantly white) -Extremely classist environment (if you did not go to an Ivy League school then you will undeniably be in a tougher spot than those who did) -Top management chooses favorites and those favorites are quite obvious company wide -Employees can propose ideas/product changes/culture changes, but no one cares or implements -Major retention issues: someone exits almost every month and it is not a large company -Employees are met with intimidation and empty threats if they try to exit company -General disinterest in employees' feelings and happiness at company Overall, company was founded by consultants who try desperately to create a tech environment but fall flat.
