Terrible people at the top - Anonymous employee IXL Learning Employee Review

- The CEO and COO have ultimate decision making power (there is no board of directors), do not value diversity and inclusion at all, and organize the company so that people tackling similar problems can't connect with one another. - There is no feedback about the product in the form of user research or data (these teams don't exist at IXL). All decisions are made top down. No change is tested, it's all up to the senior leadership. - Any concerns raised by the staff or users are silenced and silo'd. They do not want to hear feedback, they just want you to fall in line and do your job. Every day, students who use IXL complain about it on their social media and the comments just get deleted. - If you get acquired by IXL, as now ~8 companies have, they will completely gut your company. They have no foresight when it comes to restructuring the companies they acquire, laying people off while having open job posting for their same role. When laying people off, they tried to get people to sign severance deals that misrepresented what they promised, offering the bare minimum but describing it as a great severance package.
