Pros

- Many great people, genuinely intent on 'measurably improving peoples' lives through education' - Great customers in the Higher Education market, most of whom care deeply about their commitment to helping students succeed. - Competitive salaries and benefits from an industry perspective - Trying, really trying . . sometimes, to become an educational tech company. Sometimes.

Cons

- Legacy issues with some very old, gerrymandered learning technology platforms and even worse customer support experiences - Old style office politics. - Weak culture for mentoring, weaker still for innovation

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
