Pros

INE provides a great environment to learn new things and grow technically. Tremendous job satisfaction in helping customers understand the technology via videos, live courses, and answers questions via emails and forums. Flexible work-environment, hours, and dress. Decent compensation (if full-time) and benefits (no out-of-pocket paycheck costs for health insurance). No micro-management (at least, from an instructors point-of-view...I heard much differently from people in Sales and Support). If you value the flexibility of a work environment that encourages learning and a good work-life balance, this could be for you.

Cons

As an instructor, you will never receive any feedback from other INE employees or management about how well you're doing. Owner of the company is erratic and seemingly impulsive in his decision-making. Priorities and direction for the company will change week-to-week and frequently employees will only discover these changes "through the grapevine". No transparency at all from upper-management. No visibility to the direction, financials, or future of the company. It could close shop tomorrow and this wouldn't surprise current employees. In the past, instructor-led Bootcamps as well as online videos shared equally in revenue generation and prioritization but that has changed. Majority of focus is now on increasing content of video library and the future of instructor-led Bootcamps is uncertain at best. If you value a company that is stable, and which will still be around ten years from now...this probably isn't the place for you.

Pros

Great health benefits and unlimited PTO. Loved working with the instructors/video team.

Cons

I didn't realize how poor the culture and leadership is at INE until I left. I don't like to throw around the word toxic but that's truly what this place is. My role had crazy unrealistic expectations for the amount of work they require you to do and it would be so easy to burn out. I've always been someone who could stick things out even if I didn't love it but not here. Not when it destroys your self-confidence in your work. It was like that for multiple people on my team - expect most people didn't just leave on their own, they got fired or let go for who knows what excuse. They hire you but don't trust you to do your job/lean on your expertise and micromanagement runs rampant. Everyone constantly thought they were getting fired and leadership would make random threats in the team Slack channel so you never knew who they were directed at. RUN from INE.
