Pros

Overall, the people are great. I truly enjoyed my co-workers and how we were able to build our development team into a well-oiled machine. QA and development forged a great partnership, working together to put out builds on a regular schedule.

Cons

Over the last few years, the overall environment at Moby has declined. I believe this is largely due to micromanagement directly from the CEO. Numerous high-level employees left Moby in the last year. This resulted in the CEO having little-to-no checks and balances. This also meant lower-level employees were directly engaging with the CEO, which could be a good thing, but this actually caused me to have an extremely high-stress level, as well as feel constant pressure to the point I was working 10-hour days to attempt to meet his high and unnecessary expectations.

Over the last two years, we have made significant changes at MobyMax, and there is no doubt that change is hard. We started Moby by taking a bold, new direction in education, and are doing this again a decade later. We’ve invented a whole new integrated approach to curriculum, a development framework that is at the forefront of development, and a new, enthusiastically adopted approach to working with schools. Innovation and the resulting change are hard for some, but our innovation continues at an accelerating rate, and our second decade is the most promising time we have ever had at MobyMax. Here's to helping teachers for more years! Glynn and Wade
