Trying to Stay Afloat - Product Specialist Renaissance Learning Employee Review

Pros

- Good Health Benefits. - Generous vacation time. - Work from home. - Management seems to generally care about employees and offers generous layoff severance.

Cons

Caught in the tailspin of the Ed Tech fallout. Products were acquired that turned out to be not that great and integration has dragged on. Now comes a second round of layoffs within 4 months, hitting the development teams hard. They could not, or did not have the management skill to get the disparate teams to be be cohesive in production procedures — and have now relied on a consulting firm to cover for them in making the decision to offshore a good chunk of development.

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.
