      Pros

      Great company, and the best people to work with. Everyone is kind, helpful, and very fun to work with. Also, it's a great position to get a bird's eye view of how the whole company works.

      Cons

      They are laying people off left and right. I would enjoy my job a lot more if my job didn't feel threatened every selling season.

      Great potential in many areas but at mercy of dysfunctional Product Group management without ed tech skill or vision

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great engineering, finance, legal and other teams and many talented, smart people in rank and file in Product Group --- on their own these would rate a 4+, but averaged out with the severely dysfunctional, backward Product Group management who have consolidated power a 1 is highest possible, since they call all shots and their track record is appalling and getting worse

      Cons

      Echoing other reviews: very poor product and product development leadership (leadership culture of fear rather than collaboration), especially on qual side. Huge gap and disconnect between the skill-set and knowledge base of senior Product Group mgt and the direction the company needs to head. "Executive management seems determined to destroy the company. The handful of people who actually understand educational technology in the company are marginalized or outright fired, while people who have years of demonstrated incompetence are put in charge because they are old world publishing" .
