The people at Heggerty are among the most passionate, hardworking, and collaborative people I have ever worked with. We have a fantastic product, that actually makes a difference in the lives of children and educators. Excellent work life balance and good time off, including the week between Christmas and New Years. We are in a moment of growth and I’m excited to see what the future holds!
Cons
We are currently a small, but growing, team and there is a lot to be done. It can feel overwhelming at times but there is investment happening in people and systems to help us scale effectively.
Working at Heggerty is rewarding knowing that the curriculum they offer is actually making a difference in children's literacy skill development across the US & the world. Furthermore, the team at Heggerty is incredibly supportive (a true "family" feel you don't see in most private-sector companies).
As an added plus, the time off benefits are great for a private company. Heggerty observes most/all of the major bank/federal holidays, plus a full week off between Christmas & New Years Day for all staff without counting against PTO.
Cons
It's a lot of hard work, and sometimes that can mean working beyond the typical 9-5. So you need to be prepared for that - if you're just looking for a strict 9-5 and aren't willing to be flexible, Heggerty may not be for you. That said, the company stresses work life balance starting with the CEO, which is greatly appreciated.
