Pros

Good benefits, remote work environment.

Cons

When you see low CEO and company ratings, and you still take the job (like I did), that's a sign of bad judgment. CEO is a tyrant who rules by fear. Only two things matter to him: him and money. Not the employees, or students, or customers. Employees are treated like commodities. Attrition has been so high during the last year, that the company created a streamlined self-serve off-boarding process. That should tell you something. Leaders "find other opportunities" if they so much as say a word that the CEO disagrees with. Micromanagement at every level and no accountability. Executives lie to each other in public forums to save face and ensure their survival. The CEO continues to churn through leadership by scapegoating his staff and replacing them to show the board that he is on top of things (re-org after re-org). Complete failure. After two years in his position, the stock continues to stagnate, and the company has nothing to show for its efforts. Can't wait to find my next opportunity someplace else.

Pros

- I like my team members - I enjoy the flexibility of working from home - I love the creativity and challenges of my work - I feel valued in my team (not by higher-ups!) - Substantial bonus, but I’d rather be paid what I am actually worth

Cons

- Did you know in 2023, the CEO James Rhyu received a bonus twice his salary? His salary was $880K. His bonus was $1.6 million. That wasn’t even everything he earned for that year. - The CEO knows absolutely nothing about what employees do on a daily basis or how hard we work - This company only cares about money and making sure the higher ups get more every year while regular employees are paid in the 25th percentile nationally (for IDs) - HR treats you like you’re garbage - 2% OR LESS raise each year
