Pros

- You will be hard pressed to find a stronger mission than building educational tools for kids that qualify for special ed - People (across the company) join for mission related reasons and are therefore more intrinsically motivated than your average tech company - Company has continued to hire great people - Flexible PTO policy (encouraged and enforced!) - Healthy growth rate in revenue, users, and team size in the last couple years - Values work life balance

Cons

Company is going through a ton of growing pains. Part of this phase includes a good amount of shuffling of senior management as well as priorities. Certain amount of turbulence is to be expected at any startup that is trying to make it to the next level, sometimes the level of changes makes the team dizzy

Pros

+ the colleagues I have worked with are delightful and driven to serve the students + my teammates are helpful and willing to pitch in + work life balance depends on the school season but overall manageable for being fully remote + company presentations are informative, highly scripted, and professional

Cons

- annual raises are stingy and below the inflation rate - the executive team and next level down leadership team are constantly turning over, which is exhausting - every c-suite title leader has changed in the last three years except for the CEO - the company strategy is unclear and my team's responsibilities have several times - it's clear that some teams are favorited way more than others (look at who they're hiring) - DEI has all but disappeared since the Chief People Officer left a few years ago
