      Pros

      The people I met working here are truly a phenomenal bunch. They are the reason I chose to stay as long as I did and I will miss them all. It was great mission based work and I will miss the passion people felt for what they were doing there.

      Cons

      The company doesn’t know how to gauge growth and the new CEO comes off as steely. She is slowly shifting most new management hires to New York, leaving the tenured teams they manage in SF and SLC, in limbo. Since she has started, she laid off the SF office manager and support for the SF office has been drastically declined. During her first all hands meeting, she announced she was writing a book. Since that didn’t go too well, she decreased those weekly meetings to one monthly meeting. With that in mind, I can’t help but feel like her “work” here is all a self promotion tactic for future books.

      PresenceLearning has evolved from an SF-headquartered startup into a distributed company with half of our employees working remotely and the balance working across 3 offices in NY, SF and Salt Lake City. While this shift away from a single headquarters has been challenging for some, including this departed employee, it has been energizing for most who have stayed with us as we’ve grown. We believe that the future of the workforce includes flexible schedules and multi-location structures that bring together a diverse pool of employees who represent a range of backgrounds and geographies.

      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
