Pros

eInstruction has good products that range from K-12 to Higher Education. The products are good quality and are used globally by some of the most respected institutions.

Cons

After the merger between Interwrite Learning and eInstruction, both companies suffered from the management team being in constant conflict. The Private Equity company that purchased both companies does not want to spend a penny more and just wants to makes cuts everywhere including people and products. All of the great employees left including the entire product management team, most of the sales people, tech support, marketing, and engineers.

Pros

Was founded by Dr. Darrell Ward with great ethics and a desire to serve everyone. Some of the most gifted professionals I have ever met in the mid and worker bee class. Smart, caring and have a genuine concerns for education, teachers and student. Willing to help anyone.

Cons

Purchased by an investor group in 2009 who's sole focus is the bottom line, and it shows. High turn over in management. Senior leaders are excessive in expenditures but adapt at shifting the cost burden to 1099 employee's. Bad communication processes, horrible implementation and a heavy hand at change. Management does not listen to their customer or field reps. They believe they are like Steve Jobs, their product is so good there is no need to be professional. Constant closures of all facilities, changing personnel, responsibilities, expectations.
