Pros

I am entering my fourth year working for CA, and overall find my managers and upper management to be very respectful of personal time and flexible with scheduling needs around family and private life. There are very distinct busy seasons during which one oftens work more than 40 hours a week (including travel time), but also specific slow seasons where the work load is very light. The company culture has become more supportive and collegial over the time I have worked there, which has made it even better than when I started initially.

Cons

There is a lot of travel expected. Because the number of employees has grown over the last couple years there is less out of state travel, however in some regions there are still many overnights expected during the busy season. A pathway to advancement is also not super clear, and many management positions are filled from outside the company.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. We love hearing from our long-time employees and appreciate you calling out our supportive culture. We hear you about busy season and are actively hiring to grow support in many regions. To support your continued professional growth within the company, we encourage you to check out some of our career resources on our SharePoint site. We’re also hearing great things from employees using LinkedIn Learning to help achieve personal and professional goals. We understand that it feels like some management positions are filled externally. We have the fortune of speaking to many talented, qualified candidates for our open roles, and sometimes the best fit is someone new to CA. With that said, in the last year we’ve promoted 121 employees, with many moving into management roles! - Shrina

Pros

Before working at Curriculum Associates, I was an elementary teacher using i-Ready in my classroom for both reading and math. It was such an important resource to me... so much so that I actually remember Googling "how to work for i-Ready" because I wanted to learn more about the company behind it! That eventually led me to the EdTech Fellowship, which gave me the chance to see the corporate side of education after only really knowing the classroom side. I really enjoyed the fellowship and knew pretty quickly that I wanted to stay at CA if there was ever an opportunity. I’ve now been here for almost two years and have had the unique experience of being in the fellowship, a temporary role, and now a full-time role. I’ve truly had a great experience in each stage and have felt supported as I’ve continued to grow and learn. One thing I really appreciate about CA is how mission-aligned people are. As someone who has been both a teacher using the product and now an employee working behind the scenes, I can say that people here care about supporting teachers and students. That shared purpose makes the work feel meaningful and makes it easy to feel connected to the people around you!!

Cons

The transition from teaching into the corporate world can come with a learning curve (which I think the Ed Tech Fellowship really helped with!)

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s especially meaningful to hear from someone who first experienced i-Ready in the classroom and later joined the team through the EdTech Fellowship. We’re so glad to hear you’ve felt supported throughout each stage of your journey at Curriculum Associates. Knowing that the mission and care for teachers and students has felt genuine both inside and outside the classroom means a lot to us. We also appreciate you mentioning the transition from teaching into the corporate world. That shift can definitely come with a learning curve, and we’re glad the fellowship helped make it feel more approachable. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for being part of the team!
