Pros

The mission of the company, dramatically improving education, is a worthy one.

Cons

This is true of all companies: Some managers are terrible. Get stuck under one and that's it for your career. While some parts of Product Development are really good at communicating product information the customer facing teams, some are still terrible at it. Some of the Product Development teams still don't listen to the customer facing teams when creating new products, meaning baked in issues that the customer base can't handle, leaving the customer facing teams to clean up the mess.

Great colleagues, poor middle management!

Pros

Colleagues mostly some of the brightest and dedicated I've come across in my education career. The company's mission and goals for improving K-12 teaching and learning attract many who hope to make a difference.

Cons

Middle management is ineffective, rarely proactive, and often negligent of their role in helping those they manage do their job; no career path, and in fact, you feel pigeon-holed. Employees left to figure things out for themselves. Upper management seems very sharp and attuned to making goals clear, but their middle management does not know how to support and get the most out of their teams. The most skilled seem to be those in HR. They hire the right people and continue to support them, but the day-to-day management by project managers is poor.
