Pros

Twig Education - or Imagine Learning Studio UK as it is now known following an unpopular takeover by a US corporation - is a pleasant place to work. Upwards of 80% of staff are nice, interesting, talented people. The office sits in a great part of Glasgow and there are decent but not earth-shattering hybrid work arrangements etc. For a 9-5 job, it's pretty good.

Cons

This review specifically refers to the editorial department. If you want more out of editorial/publishing work, look elsewhere. Much of the material produced here is uninspiring and not produced to a particularly high standard. There is virtually no training (except for laughable HR-mandated online chores) and no career development. Senior positions are held by people who have been here for 10+ years, several of whom are barely competent. You might find it funny to have critical work questions answered with anecdotes about the head of content's dog the first time - and the tenth! But when it happens literally hundreds of times you really do begin to despair. Favouritism abounds - I say that not necessarily out of bitterness, since I've benefited from being a favourite at the expense of others here! But it's so arbitrary (it can, seriously, depend on how much the aforementioned dog likes you). I keep my head down, do a good job and take home a so-so salary, but I am ultimately frustrated - not least because other departments in the same building seem to be much better run. I'm hoping to be out of here by Christmas - though I would've said the same last year!

Pros

Pay is competitive. Remote work. A few days a week of regional travel at the federal compensation rate. This has been an educational entry-level job to learn the basic stakeholders and sales cycles for K-12 curriculum. The people I work with are great and knowledge/experience is a strong resource at this company.

Cons

The higher leadership of the organization does not foster a positive, collaborative culture. Different teams/regions work in silos. Any collaboration and communication happens primarily by our own individual efforts. Also, systems change yearly. It's difficult for everyone to adapt, and as a result the sales team has little faith in following the process. Job security is iffy. There has been continuous talk of eliminating my position in my state for over a year now.
