Pros

- great Company mission actively trying to help people by making language learning and education accessible - lots of autonomy, although depending on the team you’re on - last two weeks of the year off - annual company paid retreat to Mexico where you’re not allowed to work for a week - in office massages weekly - free daily lunch, snacks and lots of fun company events - ability to work from home on Mondays and Fridays but need to come in Tues-Thurs - lots of room to grow and take on interesting and impactful projects - competitive pay

Cons

- can feel a bit cliquey at times - D&I initiatives are still pretty new and just starting to build and take shape, but not as far along as they should be as a company - very in-office centric and sometimes can feel forgotten about if dialing in from another office; needs to get better about embracing other offices and hybrid teams

Pros

Mission, smart and kind people, great work, hard working teams focused on results and delivering against an awesome mission. People push themselves and each other to learn and grow. Swarms of smart and creative problem solvers.

Cons

Small number of people are unhappy and instead of leaving they complain. A lot. I think it's like this everywhere but in a smaller company you feel it.
