Pros

I love working for PL! One of the best things about working for PL is the setting which means no interruptions while working with students and more progress toward goals. PL is a well organized, quickly growing company that is serving children who may not otherwise receive consistent therapy services.

Cons

(This is not really a "con" but some may find this difficult). Since it is a quickly growing company, you must expect change and adapt well to changes in procedures and technology.

Founders' egos will be the death of a great idea

Pros

Amazing service that many children need. Good feedback system for the SLPs allowing them to manage their time and work remotely.

Cons

Typical startup with founders who only care about their vision. If you are not from Stanford, don't apply. They are heavily biased. No one except a chosen few are allowed to have input or authority, even over their own departments.

First of all, thank you for the compliments about our service quality and the SPEDinsight system. Thank you also for observing that we are focused on our vision. We definitely believe in what we are doing, and we are committed to working as hard as we can to help students with special needs everywhere in the world. At this point, the Stanford alumni represent just 5 out of 40+ full-time employees. And those 5 Stanford alumni include the 2 founders. Our team members come from all types of schools, but they have a few things in common: a deep commitment to our mission, a pragmatic, fast-moving startup mentality, and a genuinely nice, collaborative workstyle. So if this describes you - whether you went to Stanford or not - we definitely want you to apply. Regarding allowing a chosen few to have input, well, in 5 and a half years, we haven’t had a single manager-level-or-above employee leave the company (that’s about 20 people). These talented team members probably wouldn’t have stuck with the company if they didn’t have input on our direction! We look for people with great ideas, and we empower them to put their ideas into action. If that sounds like your type of work environment, come check us out.
