Pros

Great time with deep industry expertise. Most of our products are best in industry. Our people are the best in the industry. You will work with inspired, ambitious, and dedicatd teammates who push and inspire you to grow. There is ample opportunity here to learn and grow intellectually.

Cons

Firm career growth is limited. As THE major player in education technology, employees tend to stay in their roles. Low turnover alongside a more unpleasant notion of retaining interdepartment limits movement within a company that otherwise should be abundant with trajectory for those looking to learn and earn including in other departments and roles. CS program is still developing but strong than many other orgs. CS does not carry much influence but that seems to be developing as well. Recent lay offs prioritized savings through automation. Framed as meeting customer needs but most CSMs agree that cutting product and support roles at a net loss. While replacing some of those cuts offshore and with AI might be a bright vision, it is currently a far cry from realization. That will likely take form longterm, but short-term the compensation has not kept up with the demand of the workload. Some acquired products are a real nuisance to say the least.

Pros

Great marketing and field teams.Star product is sold but needs updating.

Cons

This company operates more like a collection of stitched-together acquisitions than a unified platform, leading to constant integration issues and weak tech support. Internally, expect heavy administrative workload and poor work-life balance. Leadership lacks real understanding of the K–12 space, and decisions feel driven by private equity pressure for quick profits—not what’s best for students. If you’re looking for a mission-driven, well-supported environment, this likely isn’t it.

Love my work environment. I work with some of the most talented professionals in the industry who generally care about making each other better.

Cons

I’m sure I could find something if I dig, but truly this has been one of my favorite places to work in my 30+ year career.
