Pros

Flexible working hours. Fairly friendly and intelligent colleagues who are disciplined and experienced in their job functions

Cons

Management changes directions every few months. Frequent "reorganizations" that resulted in many turnovers and poor maintenance of existing systems over the years. Company is supposed to integrate technology into education, yet, very few of the upper management seem to have any expertise in either areas. Company is supposed to be a newly formed "start-up", yet upper management seems to focus more on relationship management instead of gaining knowledge in the education domain and getting its hands dirty in the actual product. It's on a downward spiral before its eventual doom. It operates with many cons associated with those of a corporation - hierarchical structure, increasing bureaucratic, words like metrics, stability, initiative are becoming more predominant.

Pros

There are some very dedicated, talented and well intentioned people who work there. For awhile it felt like the organization was building and doing great things. The salary felt fairly competitive with the industry standard.

Cons

Don't look too closely under the hood if you don't want to stop believing in the illusion. The product is no longer as strong as it once was, the PD and CS have gone way downhill, they care more about profit than people and they are no longer mission driven but success and money driven. They talk a good game, but many people there are ruthless so watch your back. They do a good job of making you feel like it's the best place to work and you are lucky to be there, for awhile, but when the blook is off the rose, watch out.
