Prodigy Education Reviews

Pros

- Transparency, commitment to fostering a healthy working culture. - Career development and learning opportunities. - Smart, supportive coworkers.

Cons

- Some uncertainty about direction but they are transparent about this, and are making real efforts to figure it out. - Healthy working culture in most of the company but this is unevenly applied and some parts of the company that receive less attention are run less competently and have a toxic culture. - Typical scaling issues with teams working together, prioritization and planning. It's not ideal, but in my experience things could easily be worse.

Pros

They put a lot of effort into their culture, and it shows! I care less about the ping pong and smash bros and pizza, those things are nice but they pale in comparison to the other things prodigy has going: - Actual attempts to foster radical candor - Positive work-life balance (yes actually) - Transparency around everything from decision making to salary bands - Plenty of opportunity to learn and grow in your role or move to a new one (there's a learning fund!) - A very strong, transformative vision that you can't help but get behind - Constantly eliciting feedback at all levels - Direct management trusts you to do your job and supports you when needed (at least mine does) - Salary is respectable - Benefits are great and start from day 1

Cons

- Missing a good remote work policy. I'm not sure if management just hasn't considered this yet, or if they are anti-remote. I'm hoping the former because the latter could feel like a lack of trust in employees. Maybe there's a fear that the culture will be diluted. If so, there are plenty of great ways to support the culture across offices and timezones. I gave Compensations & Benefits and Work/Life Balance 4 starts out of 5 because I think remote work kind of fits into both those categories. Otherwise both would have been a 5!

Pros

Work life balance Health and benifits plan Stock options Room to grow CEOS are totally transparent Feel like you are making a difference with and incredible product

Cons

Too many meeting. Not a huge con but sometimes it can interrupt your day

Pros

- Amazing Culture - Wonderful People - TONS of room for growth and opportunity - Flexible Work hours - Incredible Benefits - Gym & Learning Funds - Stock Options - Super Smash Bros!! - Fantastic mentors & leadership

Cons

There's not really anything negative I've ever experienced in my 10 months at Prodigy. This job really is an absolute dream come true. The only potentially negative points would be, Fast-Paced/Big goal work environment, which can lead to high levels of stress. These shouldn't scare you away from this revolutionary company though if anything you should be excited about these things! Prodigy provides you with the tools for success/growth, part of the process is taking risks and learning on the fly!

Pros

Top management seems to truly care about making education fun for kids. Workplace was generally fun, with support for Agile processes.

Cons

Focus on learning from management theory books and metrics. Worried about killing the golden goose, which kept new ideas smothered under committee.

Pros

Great culture Many growth opportunities Management genuinely cares about the well-being of their staff Everyone's contributions are valued Company has a great vision Hardworking employees Great social events Everyone you work with, all the way up to the CEOs, are great people Amazing focus on work/life balance Overall a great place to work for years to come

Cons

None at all to be honest.
