Pros
This is by far my favourite company I've worked at. I enjoy going to work every day and genuinely enjoy all the time I spend here. The people here are fantastic and talented. The people I work with are all people I want to spend time with outside of work; and do! I've made plenty of good friends while working here. The work is fulfilling, as we are actually building something of significance. You can go on classroom visits to see our product in action! The company invests in its employees by spending money on courses, management training, and building private relaxation rooms. The work life balance is good. I have never felt stressed out or had to work late. There's also lots of company fun to be had, with lots of social events! The company is also putting a big focus on diversity and employee well being this year. The office is incredible, with a massive lunch space, beautiful meeting rooms, a quiet library, relaxation rooms, a meditation/yoga room, a breastfeeding room, a ping pong table, and a foosball table. The company is at the perfect size (350 people). It's big enough that there's structure, stability, and a plan. It's small enough that you know most people and can make a big impact.
Cons
The product team sometimes has difficulty seeing a feature through to full completion because they want to focus on the next big thing. This can be frustrating to watch.

Pros
Free lunch, great training, supportive and nurturing atmosphere, exciting vertical, great travel opportunities, free breakfast and lunch, transparent communication from management, great location, plenty of social events and most importantly a product that is helping to fix the broken education system. Super fun to work there too
Cons
If you don't like calling people a sales career here isn't for you. There's not enough hours in the day to do the job.

Pros
Free lunch. Great community and some really like minded people. Work can be rewarding, because very challenging quotas. Really good training, especially with the product getting more difficult to sell.
Cons
Work can get repetitive. When you have been there for a decent amount of time you see the entire office leave. Also limited jobs available for promotions

Pros
I am consistently awed by the talented, collaborative, genuine, and passionate group of people I get to work with everyday. With the support of my team I've been able to grow and scale at a pace I've never experienced in past roles.
Cons
Top Hat has an expectation of high performance. It is the kind of workplace that will push you to grow so if you aren't comfortable being challenged it may not be the place for you.
