      Pros

      You can break into an emerging industry due to the constant turnover. This is a good place to cut your teeth and learn by fire. You can join a company that shows you what not to do. It also teaches you to learn to read the fine print. Compensation agreements are all subject to change based on the strategy du jour.

      Cons

      AP culture is toxic. Your job is a roulette wheel; one bad turn of fate and you're gone. Every day there is one step closer to your last. Lots of good people get fired for no understandable reason. I hired people for projects that they left paying jobs for. On a whim a decision was made to let them go after a very short time. Leaders who manage to stay look out for #1. They are afraid for themselves and won't even give you the recommendation you rightfully earned out of fear or reprisal. It's unreal. I've never worked in a place this dysfunctional. The running joke in the office is to have a cardboard box under your desk. You never know when you'll be told to pack it and leave with a bit of severance to avoid a nasty lawsuit. The CEO ruthless and has very little respect for employees or his managers. He is a very wealthy man who will do what it takes to perpetuate his oil wells and overseas universities. That's right...he owns universities!

      We are concerned about your comments and take this type of feedback very seriously. We would also like to clarify a few points on our CEO. You should really meet him in person and spend some time with him. We guarantee you will be positively surprised. He is extremely accessible and we encourage you to reach out to him via email or call the office. While Mr. Best does not own oil wells, he has built from scratch an incredible company, Whitney University System, that provides services like AP to not-for-profit and a few for-profit universities across Latin America. Today, Whitney provides affordable and accessible education to more than 200,000 students and we could not be prouder of its social mission of expanding access to higher education to more Latin Americans who aspire to a college degree. You should check this company out and surely, you will be impressed with its achievement: www.whitneyintl.com and www.redilumno.com

      Pros

      Having spent the past year at Risepoint, one of the things I appreciate most is that the organization genuinely values people. There is a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and creating an environment where employees can do meaningful work while maintaining balance in their lives. The mission is important, but so is the recognition that the people advancing that mission matter too. For professionals passionate about education, workforce development, healthcare, and creating opportunities for others, Risepoint offers a chance to contribute to work that has lasting impact.

      Cons

      Amazing and inclusive workplace for all

      Thank you for sharing such a warm reflection on your first year. It's genuinely encouraging to hear that collaboration, inclusion, and a sense of purpose have defined your experience so far. Those are the result of the people here showing up for each other every day, and you're a part of that. We're especially glad that our mission has resonated with you. Doing work that matters, alongside people who care about it, is something we think about a lot when it comes to the kind of environment we want to build and sustain. Knowing that balance, growth, and meaningful contribution are coming through in your day-to-day experience is exactly what we hope to hear. Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for the energy you bring to the team. We're grateful to have you at Risepoint and look forward to continuing to grow together.

      Pros

      Strategy at the surface looks great. The engine is interesting and effective, albeit the avenues of growth are quite limited—a great place to work on several interesting projects simultaneously.

      Cons

      Chaotic Decision-Making, No thoughts given by Exec Leadership to Change Management, Sequencing, and scaling things. Operations suffers from Poor Exec Leadership, a lack of thoughtful execution, and proper planning. Some parts of the organization are being run as a fiefdom. No processes and micro-management. No work-life balance.
