Pros

Nice people, a lot of former educators that really care about the mission and making learning better for students. Great product with a lot of innovations.

Cons

VP of sales is shady and slimy and does a bunch of terrible things for company as a whole. Lies about numbers and about bonus compensation, for example we didn’t even know our numbers for an entire year, no way to verify pay and progress to goal, etc. Super messy and unprofessional. Sales managers underneath VP all operate like a cult, there’s a lot of nepotism and favoritism in the upper management and a lot of the males in those roles don’t know what they’re doing and aren’t actually managing their teams. Horrible bosses to work for- high expectations when they themselves don’t do much of anything, and they just don’t care about their people. Could care less about you as a person. An education company should do better!!

Pros

The team I directly worked with was amazing and supportive; this might be a good place to start a career in Ed-tech since the company is so popular in the sector

Cons

-Low pay and no raises ever (which is crazy for the largest ed-tech company) - Hybrid= 4 days in office lol - Monotonous work - I do not think students/children even like this software. - No diversity (go look at their organization chart and the C-Suite, I did and laughed out loud)

Pros

Many team members are genuinely kind, approachable, and supportive.

Cons

Management tends to hire people who are especially eager, which can often lead to situations where individuals end up feeling overworked, underpaid, and taken advantage of. Employees are frequently expected to be available at all hours of the day, essentially on call without boundaries, which contributes to burnout. At the same time, there is a pattern of limited diversity on the team, with new hires often reflecting the same backgrounds and perspectives as current leadership. This dynamic is reinforced by figures like Robin and Phyllis, whose approach has contributed to an environment that feels more controlling than supportive. Ultimately, it risks missing out on the benefits of creating a more inclusive, balanced, and sustainable workplace.
