Pros

It's rewarding making a difference in literally millions of students lives not just in the USA but throughout the world. The company is growing a lot and seems to make good decisions. It is one of the largest in edtech and I would say the top when looking at size (impact) plus innovativeness together. Office has private cubes not oppressive open seating like most tech companies.

Cons

I wish we were closer to public transportation. Although most teams are growing, the company downsized an underperfoming one a few months ago and that created negativity because it was a big team. I assume these are the negative reviews. I agree with that decision but others do not.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
