Pros

Mediocre food, but filled me.

Cons

The company suffers from a profound lack of strategic direction, characterized by the complete absence of a viable vision or long-term roadmap. Operational workflows are subjected to erratic, unstructured changes that fail to drive any measurable improvement—a direct result of deficient product management and operational leadership. Rather than addressing these systemic, top-down deficiencies, executive management routinely deflects accountability by scapegoating the general staff. Compounding this internal collapse, the company is in a severe financial tailspin, registering negative performance across every key financial and growth metric. This operational incompetence has fueled a relentless, five-year downward trajectory with no bottom in sight.

Pros

A great group of warm, talented coworkers and middle managers who genuinely care about you as people, which made it worth staying despite bad leadership. It’s energizing to work for a product that’s well-known in education and helps millions of students learn.

Cons

The past 3+ years have been full of instability at the leadership level, and very little transparency about it, including multiple CEO changes, a revolving door of VPs, and a strategy that’s constantly changing, The engineering org was destroyed earlier this year due to poor leadership, and the product and marketing orgs were destroyed this month during the layoffs that impacted a large chunk of the teams. Struggling to see any hope of long-term success now that 50% of the talent is gone (and likely many more soon due to lack of trust and morale) and the company is relying on AI for product strategy/development.
