Pros
- The EdTech industry is booming - One of the very few EdTech programs that is actually cool. I've had customers ask to work here, and I've had customers ask for a selfie because I work here. - Flocab is changing classrooms for the better. Can a company mission get much better than that? I love telling people what I do! - You know how most companies act like they're incredibly unique, but they do the same thing as hundreds of other companies? You'll have a very hard time finding another company that uses hip-hop in the classroom. - The product is done incredibly well. We only use professional rappers and professional beatmakers. They seriously made a unit about the types of rocks sound awesome. Everyone in the creative department is extremely talented. - The customers genuinely love the program. - Everyone in the office is incredibly nice, smart, and great at what they do. Many employees are seriously impressive. It's easy feeling lucky being on the team. - The founders have a great vision for the company, and they couldn't be nicer. - The company has a great focus on diversity. - Great vacation policy, compensation, and benefits. Company-paid insurance! - They keep the kitchen stocked with good coffee, snacks, and drinks. - A very nice, cool looking office in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
Cons
- The EdTech industry is booming, but it can be a difficult industry to crack. You may not always know the best way to do your job. I think that's exciting. If you're the type of person that likes absolutely everything spelled out with no surprises - you may not enjoy it. - Like any startup, you may not have an idea of where your career will go next. Again, I find this exciting. If you want a super clear career path, you may be better off at keeping corporate. - The office can sound a little quiet because most employees wear headphones while they work. I've enjoyed working at companies that have light background music. Obviously, this isn't a big deal.
