      Company values Company mission - address literacy needs of all children through technology Weekly company meetings - company transparency People and culture

      Cons

      Growing pains as IL transitions from a start-up to a more corporate atmosphere. Not a lot of opportunities to grow or advance within the company. 401k match

      Pros

      Great people, excellent culture, managers who care, and an altruistic mission to boot! Software project management is mostly scrum-based and teams are given a reasonable amount of freedom to identify and pursue solutions. Little to no politics that I can see from my perspective, just people who want to make a great product and please our customers. Rising talent is seen and appreciated, so there are opportunities to grow. If you're good, you'll have chances to shine! The hiring process attempts to hire very good software engineers and I've learned a lot from all of our sharp developers. I think talented people aren't really happy unless they're working with other talented people so the fact that we try to hire the best bodes well for being able to keep our talent. Maybe with the exception of the 401k plan matching, benefits are fantastic. Great healthcare, low premiums and TONS of the little things like a very well stocked pantry, lots of parties and food, quarterly books with lots of choices, etc.

      Cons

      Nothing significant that I can really think of from a software engineer's perspective. No company is perfect but this company tries to be the best it can be and is willing to make course corrections. I've yet to see any communicated concern or request that wasn't taken seriously. I would rate the compensation as "good". The parent company is demanding and I think it's not always easy for them to see less headline-grabbing accomplishments/progress but the Imagine Learning executives do a good job of managing up to the parent company, and managing down to us workers / busy bees. Those who require close supervision won't do as well here. Managers expect the individuals on teams to come up with ideas and solutions, and to help each other. If you're looking for the type of environment where a manager will give you highly detailed assignments, you may struggle. But for those who don't like being micro-managed and want latitude to solve problems yourself and with your team, this approach is exactly what you want.

      Pros

      Imagine Learning is a great place to work. The people here are fun to be around, and everyone is absolutely DEDICATED to making the world a better place by educating the children of the world. The office environment is casual and comfortable, and there are a myriad of perks like the fully stocked pantry for when you're feeling snacky, weekly 'Bagel Wednesdays,' and a monthly "Pizza Friday." There are bikes that you can take out for a ride along the river trail in the backyard, which by itself (the trail, I mean) is a pretty sweet perk.

      Cons

      401K matching is pretty pathetic. Coming from a previous employer that put in 10% - not even matching, just, 'Here's an extra 10% for later'- the 1.5% max that IL puts in is really sad.

      Thanks for the feedback. I will pass on your advice to improve the 401K match as that's been said by others. I know the executives have looked at installing a fitness room as well, but I think the logistics and insurance needed have been prohibitive so far.
