Pros

They hire smart and committed employees. There is a collegial feeling. Flexibility is is work schedules is welcome. The product offerings are quite impressive.

Cons

There is a barrier between senior management and "worker bees", not sure if it is insecurity; couldn't care less; arrogance; ineptitude; fall out from Pearson buying eCollege. Ideas from below do not get air time. Many employees not aware of education practices

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
