Pros

Many employees are (or were; see below) super-supportive and willing to help jump in to solve problems. I truly enjoyed so many of the people I had the good fortune to work with. Also, the stated goals of the company and the anecdotal results are excellent and heartwarming and admirable.

Cons

Leadership does not seem to understand what they're doing with the company and just engaged in mass layoffs, apparently for no reason other than it seems to be en vogue in the tech industry at the moment. Upper management seems utterly unaccountable for poor decision making, which only serves to perpetuate poor decision making.

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
