From one extreme to the other

Pros

Flexible work life balance, brilliant colleagues and amazing customers.

Cons

When I came to work at IL over five years ago it was a dream job. Now, we have so many process changes, weak products, slow fixes for issues and completely unbalanced salaries and commissions. It’s a daily battle and I’m sick of it. Your hardest working employees get zero recognition and zero incentive to stay.

Pros

Competent and kind co-workers. Supportive direct management. Remote or hybrid schedule.

Cons

C-suite is poorly managed. Huge fall from grace since 2016 best place to work. Former leadership made us proud to sell our products. They showed care for employees and commitment to students and their education. Imagine Learning may be one of the biggest in ed tech but we’re certainly at the bottom of quality. The market is flooded with ed tech and schools have better choices now to cover their needs. I wouldn’t recommend our products but I sell them. It’s a living. One good thing was that it has helped transition teachers out of the classroom into a new career. The pay here isn’t a big boost but the quality of life is. But, still it’s no surprise we lose contracts. Students have multiple logins to multiple products. It’s an implementation nightmare. Clients complain about resolution times to fix issues. I would say 6 month-1 year business outlook is bleak. Under market salaries. Poor investment decisions. Poor product decisions. Half assed development. Dead end growth. It’s a venture capitalist playground that doesn’t care about quality content for students, yet Imagine Edgenuity is our flagship product. Many of us employees were former teachers and see the content that millions of students are consuming. It’s sad. It’s nearly impossible to attract new sales. The curriculum is bandaided year after year instead of replaced yet still billed as “world class”. Mass layoffs happen every year. Another big hit to the company happened just yesterday. They’re replacing more non-customer facing jobs by outsourcing work to Mumbai for cheap labor. The alarm sounded for many of us when the content we sell started being created fully using AI. I hear from colleagues that development is so fast that it’s published without being thoroughly reviewed. Old content repackaged as new is marketed as new just because it’s in a new platform. Talented people leave for better pay and because they’re fed up with the company’s vision to stay afloat. The rest of us all suffer under the crushing load of reassigned work and clients. People in critical positions are laid off each year and that just shows gross incompetence to the daily functions of each department. I don't know how there’s any of us Seniors still standing beside the fact that it’s tough finding another job in ed tech right now because the investment isn’t there.

No Joy, Robotic Work

Pros

WFH culture and amazing coworkers

Cons

I’ve worked here for a few years. It used to be great. I helped customers and made connections with them. Now the work is data entry heavy, no time for customer relationships and senior management has broken the service to our customers but won’t admit it. We continue to have to to do more manual data work because the company won’t pay for software to do it and managers don’t understand concerns because they have also made their jobs their lives. No raises but the company is growing also leads be to declining morale.
