Pros
The products that CA produces are amazing, and they have a great emphasis on professional development to ensure their products are being used effectively. They continue to grow their portfolio by putting resources into R&D and purchasing other small companies to enhance already great products, like i-Ready and i-Ready Classroom Mathematics. There are some really great people working at the company, and there are opportunities to grow in the company. There is a tremendous amount of support throughout, and in almost every field you'll feel supported.
Cons
There is a lot of uncertainty in the company right now. We just lost 4% of employees due to a blunder by the company in one region, which negatively affected bonuses for the entire company. But like everytime there is an issue in our company, upper leadership (especially the CEO) overshares information but really makes no positive action. We seem to be growing as a company, but leadership is putting a focus on some unusual items (like a reading program that no one seems to want or need). In addition, many important members of the PD and PSM teams have moved to sales, which is peculiar. It appears that CA has determined that the only employees at the company who should be compensated at high levels are sales and upper leadership, so don't expect your leaders to last very long because they'll end up in sales at some point. When I joined CA things seemed to be moving at a good pace and a company culture was great, now this are uncertain and we're becoming just another corporate publishing company like HMH or Pearson, which is the opposite way we should be going.
