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.

Pros

There are some nice people working there

Cons

The management is out of touch, rarely in the office, and making knee jerk decisions, based on flimsy or flat out wrong information, in an attempt to appear in control. There is no proper training in place for anything other than the product itself. New hires should be on guard from those who are training them and watch for attempts at sabotage and undermining your success. The office location is also a negative, public transit is very limited and there are very little in the way of food options close by. The pay is very low and the expectations are very high.

I am sorry to hear that you didn't have a positive experience while working with us. Unfortunately, you were only with us for a short time and perhaps missed an opportunity to experience more positive aspects of our leadership and work culture at IXL. For example, we just hosted a fantastic week of workshops for the development team. Engineers, PM's, Designers and QA team members formed new ways of working together, aligned on our product vision and organizational objectives, and had an opportunity to hear from our CEO, COO and other leaders. I do wish you all the best in your next career endeavor.

Pros

Supporting education is a vital exercise -- nice to have your working hours count for something besides a paycheck. GREAT people so far! Benefits/perks much better than at similar companies in this area.

Cons

Initial salary is lower than for comparable roles at other companies, but annual raises and overall company culture have gone a long way to alleviate that!
