      Great stepping stone to learn skills but not worth investing more than a year with the company...

      Pros

      The people that work at IXL are amazing, smart and kind. You will not find another group of individuals that are passionate about education than the people that work here at IXL. - Good Benefits (Full 100% Medical Coverage, Unlimited PTO)

      Cons

      Where do I even start? - EXTREMELY top heavy. All decisions come straight from the top. There is no room to change things at IXL. -Pay is noncompetitive . If you get an offer, be prepared to go high because they will try to negotiate you down - COO fires people at a whim. Laid off a whole department (about 60 people) a few months ago. - Executive leadership only cares about themselves, everyone is expendable at this company. Doesn't matter how much blood, sweat and tears you put in, I have seen them fire people that have been with the company for a long time without a second thought. - Be careful about the "positive" reviews you see on here. Many are from new hires that haven't been here long enough and are encouraged to leave glowing reviews on here. It is misleading. - Problems with teams are not acknowledged. While they "encourage" constructive feedback, nothing will change and if you do it enough...you might end up being on the chopping block. - Retention rate is LOW. Alot of long time employees are leaving and most people at IXL don't stay longer than 2 years unless you were with the company at the very beginning. Those people that are often in leadership roles now have more to lose.

      Could have been my dream job, if it had been at a different company

      Pros

      - There are plenty of incredibly smart people toiling away in the cube farms of IXL. - The coffee wasn't great, but it sure was free.

      Cons

      - The pay is not up to industry standards for the region. - For a number of different roles, they seemed to like to hire people fresh out of top schools but who had little real-world work experience, so that they would be slower to recognize they were being exploited. - Front-line management can often be very inexperienced and inept. I often felt like my manager - who was just a couple years out of school - was speaking to me in quotes they had memorized from an Intro to Management textbook just moments before. - Upper management is basically completely inaccessible. - Management at all levels plays favorites. - The office environment is sterile and demoralizing.
