Family-Oriented Company With Global Appeal
Pros
I love this organization and the majority of the people I work with on a regular basis. I was describe Renaissance as a place that is open to ideas, has a thirst for collaboration, loves to innovate, is a leader in K-12 technology, has a bias towards action, is full of amazing and super talented people, is fast-paced (not a pro for all), continues to improve in many areas based on employee feedback, offers excellent benefits, great pay....
Cons
This is not a con but it is important to know. As education has changed so too has the education market. Renaissance adapted and continues to do so, for the better of the organization and its customers. That said, some employees operate as though it is still an education company that happens to be in technology (outdated), and others operate as though it is a technology company that happens to be in education. Renaissance's internal identity issues are apparent the more I collaborate with cross-functional teams. Over the years Renaissance has become more sales focused, and rightfully so. If we as an organization do not meet our financial goals everything suffers. Sales has to be and is a main driving force that has to move at the speed of our customers and the market, and there people and departments that have not caught up nor can keep up.
