Pros

At CYPHER Learning you are part of a highly collaborative and inclusive environment where teamwork and creativity thrive. Employees are diverse and incredibly talented, each bringing a unique set of skills and experiences that foster innovation and growth. Leadership is supportive and inspired, encouraging continuous development and open communication. I've also had the honor of working on an amazing, cutting-edge ed-tech product that’s reshaping the learning landscape, making a meaningful impact in the education and corporate worlds.

Cons

CYPHER is a remote-only company. I wish there were more opportunities to collaborate and brainstorm with my colleagues in person.

Pros

Good pay. Founded as a fully-remote company. Passionate, mission-driven leadership. Inclusive, international team.

Cons

1980s software practices. No documentation, no knowledge sharing, no tests, no standards. Hero culture and technical gatekeeping.

We appreciate feedback and understand that experiences can vary. That said, we want to ensure an accurate understanding of our engineering culture and practices. We are proud of our modern software techniques, our agile development, our team culture, our well-structured codebase, our adoption of AI — and, of course, the end result: our modern learning platform. Transparency is an important part of our process. Engineering candidates are given a tour of our stack, visibility into our code, and the opportunity to speak directly with engineers across the organization. This helps ensure alignment between the way we work and what candidates are looking for in their next role. We remain committed to building great products and supporting the people who bring them to life. We appreciate the time you spent with us and wish you the very best in your career ahead!
