Good place to work as an Entry level

Instructional assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The best benefits I have seen are the PTO plus collective summer and winter vacations.

Cons

You have to be very patient in what you do and at the same time have good time management. If you don't have those two, you will be in serious trouble.

Poor Leadership and Short Sighted Strategy

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People do seem to care about the people they help.

Cons

A shortsighted strategy that is often hand-to-mouth. Leadership prioritizes speed over quality, leading to unrealistic timelines that force unpaid overtime and lead to burnout. You are often gaslit and ignored when issues are brought up to leadership. Work-life balance is a mess. The official company policy is that no one will work overtime unless approved. But getting emails and alerts from coworkers after hours and deep into the night is extremely common.

Great Company, Great Mission, Needs more Thought

Sr manager, talent solutions

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really care about their employees (GREAT PTO, recognizes DEIB&C, opportunities to learn across the org) Mission is real and can be seen especially in learner-facing situations/roles

Cons

Need to think more about the direction of the company (eg sales vs funding). Should consider promotions sooner
