      Not a place I would stay for the long run

      Pros

      - Flexible work schedule - Generous PTO

      Cons

      - Upper management/HR do not care for the employees - Employees are under appreciated. There are so many smart, kind, hardworking employees that are never shown the appreciation and kindness they deserve - Compensation is very low and raises are insignificant

      You have a good point regarding recognition---that's why we implemented the "Make A Difference" campaign last year. Since August 2019, so many employees have shared how their teammates across the organization are helping each other every day! We are also implementing a service recognition program (slowed down by Coronavirus), because in today's world and especially in technology companies, it's rare to have so many employees with 3, 5, and 10 years of service. And lastly, senior leaders have been reviewing pay practices, which most of us recognize as the ultimate individual recognition, to ensure that our overall compensation is competitive within the market. In fact, many departments saw a positive impact as part of their annual salary increase in the last review cycle. If you have more specific ways we can recognize employee's contributions, please reach out to me.

      Mixed feeling

      Pros

      1. Most coworkers are smart, dedicated in ed-tech. You'll be around with a lot of nice people. 2. Good work life balance and benefits. 3. Young and energetic team, lots of new grads from top schools.

      Cons

      1. Decisions are extremely top-down. Not only business direction, but also product features and details have to be approved by COO and CEO, product managers sometimes have little power upon decisions. 2. Below average compensation. 3. Unclear career ladder and promotion. 4. As others have mentioned, it's not a stable environment. Business decisions lead to frequent team re-organization and lay-off since mid 2018, people leaving all the time. Very high retention rate. Sales VP departed, COO commented in the email -- "get away with any obstacle and inefficiency toward our goal". (The goal is to reach 1 in 2 students in US by 2025, while it's 1 in 8 in 2019)

      We strive to hire employees who are excited about IXL's mission to improve learning through the best educational technology possible, which really comes through the universal feedback about how great our people are! We are investing in a few areas this year that address some of your feedback, including management development to provide our managers (many who have been promoted at IXL as first-time people managers) with skills and tools to facilitate employee growth discussions and activities. Leadership is also actively reviewing compensation across the company to ensure IXL's pay is competitive. Some departments have already seen the results of market-driven compensation changes over the last pay cycle. Thanks for your feedback--we've heard what you and others have said and are working to put it into practice!
