      Pros

      Your co-workers are awesome. The company has great events and some of the competitive benefits they employ to engage with Ivy Leage talent trickles down to the rest of the staff.

      Cons

      Routine, mysterious mass firings. I saw this happen four times in my year and a half there, and each time the firings gutted departments. They treat full-time employees like contractors -- use until not necessary, and then fire immediately. They started an NC office for the lack of labor laws and the ability to offer non-competitive salaries compared to other locations. They take full advantage of both of those factors. COO is incredibly petty. Employees have to fight for basic equipment that is necessary to complete their job. Are you an engineer? Don't assume you'll have a second monitor! IXL tries to fails to cultivate buy-in from it's employees. Some of the lower level management is great, however, it's hard for employees to feel engaged when they are constantly treated poorly. Multiple departments changed their payment basis from salaried to hourly, negatively effecting morale, some people get laptops, less important ones get notebooks, etc. All of the above is SOP for IXL Learning.

      Yes! Our people are awesome and one of the reasons we opened an office in Raleigh is to draw on the great talent pools in the area without having to engage in bay area talent wars. We aren't perfect but we do our best to offer competitive salary and benefits as well as a fun office environment. And just to set the record straight, it's a federal law, otherwise known as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), not companies or managers, that determines whether positions are considered hourly or salaried. Companies are required to comply with FLSA or be fined. I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your time with IXL and wish you the best.

      Zero appreciation for loyal employees.

      Pros

      Good benefits and unlimited PTO for some.

      Cons

      - Upper management acts like royalty. - The owners of the company treat you like you're lower than dirt. The COO grimaces at you when you try to say hi. - They boast about how much money they made, then turn around and give everyone the lowest annual raise they possibly can. -No bonuses. -Hard working, loyal, veteran employees are fired on the spot with no warning and without explanation, leaving everyone else to pick up the slack with little to no training to prepare them for the position left empty. -Mass firings occur without warning. -Hard work is rarely appreciated and often goes unnoticed. -Issues within teams are swept under the rug. Constructive suggestions are welcomed but ignored.

      Pros

      - Consistent paycheck and OK benefits

      Cons

      - Collaboration and innovation are completely stifled by incompetent and out-of-touch leadership - CEO is woefully inept and desperately tries to appear "non-corporate" while reinforcing all of the standard corporate tropes -- unnecessary meetings, meddling & vindictive management, top-down decision making, zero accountability, etc. - No DEI programs or initiatives, and any mention of diversity is met with hostility ("we value diversity of thought" dog-whistle) - All decisions are 100% profit-driven, even at the expense of safety - Leadership constantly uses employees as scapegoats for their problems, refusing to take accountability - Out-of-date (by 10+ years) tech stack and tooling with no real push to modernize
