Founders' egos will be the death of a great idea - Anonymous employee Presence Employee Review

First of all, thank you for the compliments about our service quality and the SPEDinsight system. Thank you also for observing that we are focused on our vision. We definitely believe in what we are doing, and we are committed to working as hard as we can to help students with special needs everywhere in the world. At this point, the Stanford alumni represent just 5 out of 40+ full-time employees. And those 5 Stanford alumni include the 2 founders. Our team members come from all types of schools, but they have a few things in common: a deep commitment to our mission, a pragmatic, fast-moving startup mentality, and a genuinely nice, collaborative workstyle. So if this describes you - whether you went to Stanford or not - we definitely want you to apply. Regarding allowing a chosen few to have input, well, in 5 and a half years, we haven’t had a single manager-level-or-above employee leave the company (that’s about 20 people). These talented team members probably wouldn’t have stuck with the company if they didn’t have input on our direction! We look for people with great ideas, and we empower them to put their ideas into action. If that sounds like your type of work environment, come check us out.
