Pros
There are a lot of very talented people working for ConnectEDU in various pockets of the organization, even after most of the talent has long gone. Their contributions, however, are never fully realized because of hostile, self-serving senior managers and zero funding for Professional Development.
Cons
Senior managers who "lead" by intimidation and degrade individuals who are actually educated and skilled enough to be in THEIR positions. A policy that states ZERO funding will be offered for Professional Development, even if there was a prior commitment made to employees who have been pursuing PD related to their current roles. Hostile work environment where collaboration and mutual respect are foreign concepts. Multiple disparate products as a result of multiple acquisitions and that serve very different markets needs ... and markets. Buyers are prioritized over what Users actually want the products to do, meaning educators and students are the LAST to be considered as part of decision-making, despite the company's alleged mission. For a software product company, they sure do invest very little into the people who know a thing or two about software products, how to design them, how to develop them, how to support them, etc.
