free parking and sparkling water

Cons

Management team and especially senior management team really does not care about employee growth; employees are scared to speak up as new ideas are not welcomed; democracy is not welcomed; engineering team uses outdated tools and processes...

IXL Learning Response
6y
As a company in high-growth mode, we have many people managers who have been promoted as first-time managers. As a result, we have recognized that we need to invest in them so they have the skills and tools to facilitate career growth discussions with their teams--we started that program earlier this year. As far as technology goes, our technology priorities are set by our mission in ed tech -- to be a dependable and valuable resource for learners and educators. As we pursue this, we do our best to strike a balance between inviting new technologies into the mix and having a stable platform for engineer creativity. We appreciate your feedback and are working to better plan for future development.

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
