Pros

If you're a self-starter that can think quick on their feet, work across departments effectively to find solutions, and want to actually do cool stuff rather than just talk about it, this is the place for you. Renaissance is truly making a difference in the lives of students and educators -- the stories we hear of customer success are nothing short of inspiring -- and with plenty of new things on the horizon, the future for this company looks very bright. I work in our Marketing department, and I can say that the group of people I work with are some of the best and brightest I've had the pleasure to work with in my career. We motivate each other every day to think big, start small, and fail fast -- as Facebook-ish as that sounds, it's true.

Cons

If you're not used to a fast-paced environment, or you want a 9-5 job where you punch in and punch out, this may not be your best bet. We're an educational software company that needs to move quickly, and you're the one that will need to advocate for the work/life blend that makes the most sense to you.

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.
