IXL Learning Software Engineer reviews

Company isn't that good at managing large projects, and we often have to deal with upper level management decisions with no input. Also in office 4 times a week is forced.

Zero sense of collaboration or good industry practices. New acquisitions except TPT retained nearly zero engineers. Fear-based culture keeps people from speaking up about issues. New hires are almost exclusively international graduates with Master's degrees from top schools, but in practice are incredibly incompetent and difficult to coach (which is why I suppose they didn't have any other choices). Despite trying to push new tech, code suffers from incredibly poor practices due to rubber-stamping PR culture. The few people that tried to do anything about it received backlash from management and have since departed the company. Leadership insists on getting a say on every new thing delivered to product, so we have almost zero autonomy. Poor compensation. Glad to be leaving soon.
