Pros

- The AM team as a whole is supportive and a positive environment - fully paid benefits - matching 401k - autonomy - 30k bonus plan payed quarterly

Cons

- Your direct lead may ask for feedback, but that feedback may never be passed on to higher levels. If it is, it is not listened to. - Employee input is not asked for and it is not valued when given. - CEO says repeatedly that we are doing our best work but they are forcing us back to the office including 5 day in office work weeks from June - September. Many of us have never worked in the office and are thriving. Why change it? - IXL is no longer a small company, but the COO seems to make all of the decisions and is a micromanager. This includes things like the office looking like a prison because she doesn’t like the look of things hanging on walls. - Low base pay. 42k is far below the industry standard which is over 50k - Refuses to take a stance on social justice issues out of fear of losing customers, especially in the Deep South.

Pros

Good benefits with paid medical for employees, partial 401(k) matching

Cons

Listen to the other reviews, I wished I had. Upper management has no idea what they are doing, how to treat employees, how to train employees, how to keep employees, how to provide support and training. They fire in bulk on a moment's notice. Only stock options for a select few which makes no sense

Pros

free parking and sparkling water

Cons

Management team and especially senior management team really does not care about employee growth; employees are scared to speak up as new ideas are not welcomed; democracy is not welcomed; engineering team uses outdated tools and processes...

IXL Learning Response
6y
As a company in high-growth mode, we have many people managers who have been promoted as first-time managers. As a result, we have recognized that we need to invest in them so they have the skills and tools to facilitate career growth discussions with their teams--we started that program earlier this year. As far as technology goes, our technology priorities are set by our mission in ed tech -- to be a dependable and valuable resource for learners and educators. As we pursue this, we do our best to strike a balance between inviting new technologies into the mix and having a stable platform for engineer creativity. We appreciate your feedback and are working to better plan for future development.
