Renaissance Learning reviews

a Chief Revenue Officer was recently hired. It seems he is systematically pushing many of the best leaders in the company across the country out of the organization and is replacing them with his cronies, most of which are coming in with zero ed tech experience. The culture of this company used to be predicated around helping accelerate learning for students. Since the CRO's arrival the culture has become centered around increasing sales pipeline and increasing the company valuation at all costs. The new culture being implemented by the CRO and all his inexperienced leaders he is installing that are just doing whatever he says because they don't have the experience to know better are severely damaging the sales team and slowing down student learning in the process. Pay is also a major issue with this company. Year over year you can expect to get paid less and less for your work. When you have a good year you will be forced to increase productivity by 25-50%+ in sales to make the same amount as you did the year before.

RL executive team and senior leadership team tolerates mediocrity and it cripples the organization. The organization is highly catty, values personal relationships over work performance, and does not actively work to improve the company culture. Constructive criticism is frowned upon - leadership would much rather maintain a midwestern nice atmosphere rather than improving people. And if your'e a poc - steer clear. As a POC, the company's efforts towards improving is for show.
