Pros

Used to be a great company - really cared for its employees and their families. Had a wonderful work atmosphere where employees respected each other.

Cons

Now ruled by the almighty Dollar and would prefer to have young employees with no common sense than hold on to its seasoned employees who could mentor the newer staff and also provide knowledge and insight to products.

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.
