Young, energetic, and passionate company in a meaningful industry
Pros
Great company culture: Fun and energetic people, casual atmosphere and dress code, monthly ice cream socials, summer outings, holiday parties, ping pong and trivia tournaments, team lunches, free soda & snacks, and more! Rewarding work: Being in the educational industry, the work is very rewarding and you know you're making a real difference. Furthermore, everyone is very passionate about and dedicated to the work they do. Team-based environment: There's a real focus on teamwork and banding together to get projects done and goals accomplished.
Cons
The rapid growth we've experienced--while positive from a business standpoint--has resulted in the loss of that small company feel we used to have when I knew everyone's name, and it also has the unfortunate side effect of sudden and unexpected changes. Salary is not competitive in my opinion. Also, the review and bonus system is a bit convoluted. Due to the nature and structure of some of the departments, internal career growth isn't always possible, which can be discouraging.
