Pros
• The mission to 'change the world the way learns' sounds motivating. • Lots of need during COVID, and perhaps need will increase down the road as more schools/organizations embrace hybrid learning. • Remote-first company; option to work from WeWork.
Cons
• Senior Leadership: They are mostly former Blackboard folks whose thinking has not evolved much since 1997. Beyond that, there is zero accountability for senior leadership. They speak to one another in an echo chamber without hearing from or considering other employees; feedback is given but not acted upon. • Lack of Success: Progress to goals is not widely discussed for good reason. It doesn't feel good to be on a consistently losing team. Morale is low, yet remains unaddressed. Huge area of opportunity. • Growth: Very little opportunity for growth; although, you will be asked to take on more and more outside of your job description as the teams become more and more lean. There was an attempt to roll out a feedback cycle and approach leveling ("Grow Our Classmates") but that initiative quickly fell onto the back burner. •Benefits: No 401k matching and incredibly expensive yet basic healthcare.
