      Pros

      The company is going through a period of rapid expansion and with that come new opportunities and challenges - you can definitely make an impact at this point. That's exciting! The company is actively investing in it's employees through newly remodeled floor plans and programs designed to increase efficiency across the board. It's refreshing to see a company actively pushing for the benefit of it's employees. The company hosts game nights, trivia outings, happy hours, sports teams and other socials that allow employees to find their niche and connect with people from other departments. Strong relationships can happen quickly. There is pretty universal excitement amongst employees about the products that we're creating. The core vision is still heavily focused on education and making better platforms for learning. Money is important, but it's really more of an offshoot of building solid products that meet a need. Compensation is very competitive for the area.

      Cons

      The company has gone through a lot of growth in the last couple of years. IXL still needs some time to build out stronger infrastructure for continued growth.

      Pros

      The co-workers here are incredibly gifted and awesome people. They care about their job, the product, and the other employees. Everyone is really nice and will always take the time to answer questions or give advice if asked. There is a company softball team and basketball team. The development team is moving to a new floor next week that looks amazing! The health benefits are great and the salary is competitive. The company is growing and there are lots of opportunities to work on new and interesting projects.

      Cons

      There isn't a lot of business experience among upper management. The company is used to being small, and now that it is growing there are some noticeable growing pains. This has been improving of late, but it is still an issue.

      Pros

      Coworkers are smart and generally upbeat and open to collaboration. Benefits are fantastic. Best health insurance I've ever had. Dental and vision too. Salary is pretty good -- though it sounds better before you move to the Bay Area. Cost of living is -steep-. Stock options -- and since the company has been growing consistently over the past ~10 years, these options are probably not meaningless. Flexible hours. Management is generally chill about when you come in. No one is sitting behind you watching the clock to make sure you've spent a full day there (at least on the software/product development side). Working on a good product. The site is really slick, well-designed, and mathematically correct. Transparency. A regular all-company meeting is held where the CEO, Paul, takes questions and gives an overview of what's going on. I don't feel like I'm in the dark about any company operations.

      Cons

      The commute from anywhere fun to live sucks. I didn't move to the Bay to live in San Mateo. In the peak of rush hour, it takes ~45 min from SF, 55 from Oakland, over an hour from Berkeley. A shuttle like Google has would be great, but the company is way too small for that. Salary is a bit lower than other tech companies. It's quiet in the office. I wish people would talk more. Hours are slightly more than advertised in the interview, especially right before a product release. But, generally, the hours are better compared to other tech companies. The company's bottom line is, of course, most important. The product is designed for a mainstream audience. I wish they would address concerns of kids in certain minorities -- for example, think about how to make the site friendly to kids with autism or print-related disabilities.
