Pros

Good Benefits - retirement contribution with match, great healthcare, week of Christmas off, PTO-sick leave pretty generous, 2 month paternity leave for either parent. After working for 5 years, you can get tuition assistance for your dependents. Mostly remote which makes it much easier to balance work/life demands. Very smart and committed people work there who really do care about creating opportunities and supporting students who want to make college a reality. Company matches charitable donations. True sense of community within some departments. C-levels do seem to know employees at all levels. If you are patient, there is opportunity to grow in the company and work in different and very cool departments.

Cons

Exceptionally woke company led by CEO w/liberal white savior complex - if you are center left or middle, keep your head down and opinions to yourself. If you move to a lower cost of living location you will get a salary cut. If you are hired, negotiate for the highest salary possible as there are limits to internal raises if promoted. Raises for exceptional output and promotions are only twice a year instead of as earned and visibility into decisions is limited. Salaries are low for employees at the bottom of the ladder, but very generous for those at the top . No work being done to support career training - focus seems to be solely on getting kids into college. Diversity measures superficially focused on skin color instead of being more inclusive about culture, experience, identification, etc.
