Pros

- amazing colleagues with genuine interest in improving the world through equitable educational opportunity - organization has tons of potential growth and it’s exciting to be apart of that journey as an employee

Cons

- toxic work environment where work is considered life and down time is not encouraged - upper management and leadership is poor and tends to micromanage and patronize - it is hard to build genuine connections with colleagues since teamwork is not really encouraged - pays minimum wage

Pros

CEO is passionate and driven to innovate in the STEM education space and real impact is made as a result. One of the few CEOs who will give you the space and resources to do your work fully and will only come in to micromanage if you majorly mess up. Great work-life balance. Team members always got 5-6 weeks of PTO.

Cons

CEO has made a number of bad hires for senior level positions over the last few years as the organization has grown. They’ve slowed the organization down and created a negative hierarchical culture. A lot of the disgruntled employees here were hired by these senior leaders and then let go by the CEO in the last year. CEO should have acted sooner - it was clear they were incompetent and blamed CEO for any of their problems. Seems to be fixing it now though.

Pros

I don't see a reason why anyone would want to work here. With time, I saw all the smart and positive employees leave. I was one of them.

Cons

The CEO is awful. This horrible person has hired a few minions who have ruined the workplace culture. These evil people do no work but play mindless and childish blame games. They don't want to work but just spread hostile feelings and toxicity. When my patience ended, I left. I haven't regretted that decision ever.
