Felt undervalued and micromanaged.

Pros

When I started working here it was a great experience--there were genuinely amazing people on my team and we worked hard, excited about Imagine Learning's mission. I was excited to go to work on Mondays. Imagine Learning was built on the idea of helping students. Before I left a lot of people were there who truly believed in that mission. The physical office space was a great place to work.

Cons

Changes in upper level management (and some smaller, team-level changes) brought an environment of toxicity and distrust to my team. My work was constantly redone, poorly in my opinion, by people who were not trained to do my job. I got weekend texts and phone calls, asking me to make changes on things that I had done. All of this after I had already had multiple, very capable coworkers review my work. I saw this happen to others on my team as well. As a result almost nobody who was on my team when I started at Imagine Learning is still there. What started as an amazing job turned into a toxic and stressful environment. I found myself constantly second guessing my abilities when I started my current job because of how I was treated at Imagine Learning, but I've realized now, that my work wasn't the issue. I am capable and careful in my work. But, the culture from the executive team at Imagine was fear-based which caused managers to nitpick work for fear of being reprimanded. I've put off writing this review because there's honestly too much to unpack with my experience at Imagine and I knew I'd struggle to put it all into words, but this gives you the general idea.

Pros

I got the job and the pay isn't that bad.

Cons

I didn't know I got the job, they sent an email and said. "Congrats, you start this day." When I spoke to HR to negotiate the start date they wanted to potentially rescind the offer since they needed that date. Which is funny considering they didn't let me know I had the job, they didn't tell me they were running the background check(I approved it), and there was no phone call from my future boss, saying welcome aboard.

Pros

Mission-driven. People not in management positions really care about the work they are doing.

Cons

People in mid-to-higher level management positions micromanage to ensure their image of superiority/status is maintained to higher-ups. There is a definite lack of organization and communication between departments and nobody really seems to understand what anyone else in the company is doing.
