Pros

Nothing! No pros at this poing!

Cons

1. Senior management is either being - approached with a high comp offer to voluntarily "resign" or - demoted to do IC work 2. Working remotely is being taking off the table 3. The executive team is a team of robots! No empathy, no feelings.

IXL Learning Response
6y
Like all organizations, we review the way we work and make changes to ensure we are developing the best products for our customers. For example, the recent realignment of our product, design, QA and engineering teams, which incidentally, did not include any demotions or layoffs. From your feedback, it's understood that change takes adjustment and some changes do not work for all people. As for working remotely, as the head of HR I can assure you we have many employees who work remotely across the organization. You may be referring to our working from home policy, where we did introduce guidelines to establish norms for positions that are assigned to an IXL office. This is another change that I recognize may not work for everyone, but it is designed to promote consistency and equitable treatment across the organization.

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
