Pros

Great benefits, 401K, remote work, and great coworkers/teammates. Middle managers are amazing, and the people you directly work with are also good.

Cons

New leadership came and have been firing a lot of people who been there for years and knew the heart of the company, to either completely eliminate positions or to replace them with people from leadership's old teams elsewhere. It use to be a small company feel where people cared about you but now it's all about being big corporate and you're just a number. A lot of arguments for controls amongst higher managers and the ones on the lower roles are taking the brunt of the lack of planning and understanding about how the job and roles work.

Pros

Remote-first and flexible work environment, dependant on role and manager

Cons

Major shift in company culture in recent years. Instead of a steady-performing education company, we are now positioned as a poorly performing tech company. Merit increases are well below inflation, while the cost of benefits are skyrocketing. Path for promotion within mid-level, non-managerial roles has been ended. Massive push towards AI left the workforce demoralized.
