Pros

Worked here for more than a year. Already left some comments about work culture here and now would like to talk about work/life balance here. One most important thing is our company really thinks family is the first. At the first you might doubt that if everyone cares family first then who is going to finish the work? But with my more than a year working time here, I found that everyone not only finish their jobs with excellent quality but also handle family stuffs very well. My own experience: had a baby last year, company already gave me lots of flexibility to accompany my wife for all prenatal checks(yes, every single one!) and during the due day window, I was working at the hospital right next to my wife. Even though I said I was working but my colleagues really understand me and try not to bother me. My wife felt safe as I was always around. Then the company gave me 2 months paid parental leave to take care of my baby. Apart from that, whenever I need time to take care of family, like when baby is sick, I can always take necessary time to handle it first. This is a great relief for me to get my family well. Thanks for reading long story until here. To answer the question: how can you finish your work given that you spent the time to handle the family stuff? I had the same doubt as you at the beginning but now I believe there is no need to worry about. In fact, when the family is being well taken care of, I feel better when at work. This boosts my efficiency. Besides, I know I should be grateful to my company’s generosity, so whenever I have free time, I am willing to carry out extra commitments, even though they never ask me to. This is really good when you are voluntary to pay back by hard word, you never feel tired.

Cons

Not at all to be honest

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!

Pros

Made alot of money and very food benefits.

Cons

15 hour days. No support at all. Managers are the worst people ever because they are worked into the ground. Slave drivers because they experience the same all the way to the CEO who is a slimeball. If you want a career where they expect your soul then its a good place. Be ready to travel all the time, all the time. I worked 7 days a week non stop, they finally let me go because my production and ability to do the job just dwindled. It literally took the life from my soul. Other than those things, it was great.
