Pros

Name brand in the education industry, brand opens doors. The company relies on it overly so and ignores innovation at their peril.

Cons

Upper management often makes knee-jerk decisions based on emotion and a swift need to "repair losses" in the short term. This leads to a backwards, cost restrictive way of thinking about growth in a marketplace that is growing through investment and technology, not the bottom line.

Pros

Good remote environment while not having a lot of micromanagement.

It's very hard to advance. Promotions seem very hand picked instead of basing them on merits.
