Bad upper management destroyed company culture

Pros

The company has a 1 week shutdown between Christmas and New Year's every year that is a nice addition to an above average PTO and holiday policy. Individual teams are knowledgeable and effective when given the opportunity.

Cons

Regular layoffs with high-performing team members being let go in mass organization restructuring without logical reasons. Each layover seems to target older employees or those with more tenure. There is a disconnect between the contributions employees make and the visibility those contributions receive at the leadership level. Frequent team restructuring creates uncertainty and makes it hard to build momentum on long-term initiatives. Organizational changes often feel reactive rather than strategic, leaving employees to absorb the impact without clear communication. Roles and responsibilities can shift without corresponding adjustments to title, compensation, or headcount support. There are instances where workplace dynamics favor certain voices over others, which undermines collaboration and trust. The company risks losing institutional knowledge by not investing more in retaining and advancing its top contributors.

Good mission, Chaotic & Top Heavy

Pros

Good company mission in bringing affordable, relevant education to everyone. Decent PTO once you’ve been there a while.

Cons

The whole company is chaotic right now. Every department. They restructure and as soon as all of that is in place, they restructure it all again. Super top heavy as well. They have recently hired a lot of senior execs with little to no knowledge of this space, so their analysis is often incorrect but always takes much longer than if they hired from within or people with knowledge in the field.

Thank you for sharing your perspective, especially as an employee with more than a decade of experience here. It means a great deal to have feedback from someone who has seen the organization through multiple stages and is committed to our mission. We also understand the challenges you are describing. Shifts in structure and strategy can feel disruptive, particularly when they happen in close succession. Your feedback matters. As we continue to evolve, thoughtfully balancing new perspectives with institutional knowledge remains an important focus. Thank you for your candid input and for the contributions you continue to make.
