Pros

Collaborative and knowledgeable support team. Fully remote. Opportunity to work with school systems and complex data scenarios within an EdTech environment. Exposure to real-world customer challenges and cross-functional collaboration.

Cons

Communication from leadership was often inconsistent, particularly during periods of organizational change. Performance expectations were not always clearly defined or aligned across teams, which created confusion in day-to-day responsibilities. There were also instances where leadership communication did not consistently reflect a respectful or constructive tone toward frontline staff, requiring reinforcement of expectations around professional communication. Additionally, the role evolved significantly from what was initially presented during the hiring process. The day-to-day responsibilities and workload expectations did not fully align with how the position was described, which made it difficult to maintain clarity around long-term growth and success in the role. Layoffs were ultimately attributed to performance, despite broader structural and operational challenges, which impacted morale and trust across the team.

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
