Pros

Challenging and interesting project related to online education. Relaxed work environment. No bloated and unnecessary meetings. Hands-off management style so you are not stressed out.

Cons

Benefits for employees with a large family is lacking compared against other large Bay-area tech companies. You need to prepare your own lunch or go out, which consumes a lot of work hours in a busy San Mateo downtown. Commute benefit is lacking. i.e., no paid Caltrain pass.

Pros

One of the best parts of working here is the people. The culture here is friendly and cooperative. Because of our size, it's easy to get to know the people you work with well. And since everyone is willing to help each other out, I never have a problem asking coworker's questions and stating my opinions. In addition, everyone cares about making products that benefit education. We have high standards for our product features, and for the underlying code. As much as we care about work, we also care about having fun. The company has a lot of social events, like happy hours and lunch and learns. And there are a lot of groups in the company like sports teams, and a book club. The work-life balance is great. Hours are flexible as long as you are able to attend meetings and get your work done.

Cons

I wish we had more perks such as regular catered meals. But I think we can expect them to come as we continue growing.

Pros

Even though I've only worked here for a couple of months, I can say that IXL really cares about their employees. My experience at IXL has been great. While you are expected to work hard, there are plenty of opportunities for you to have fun while working here. This is my first work experience and I was expecting work to be hard and stressful but every day I wake up looking forward to go to work.

Cons

I haven't had any problems during my time working here.
