Pros

Cushy job, non challenging work, .. if you're into that.. and you had better be or pretend at any rate! Lots of communal space, free foods, drinks etc.... waffle wednesday! Good community building exercises.

Cons

You will suffocate. There is no room for change or growth, improvement or even the slightest criticism, and I speak only to the creative group I was assigned to. They seemed pretty pleased with what they had done. All in all the work I was exposed to was really sub standard. This is particularly worry-some, as this is for EDUCATION, k thru 12.

Pros

There are some very dedicated, talented and well intentioned people who work there. For awhile it felt like the organization was building and doing great things. The salary felt fairly competitive with the industry standard.

Cons

Don't look too closely under the hood if you don't want to stop believing in the illusion. The product is no longer as strong as it once was, the PD and CS have gone way downhill, they care more about profit than people and they are no longer mission driven but success and money driven. They talk a good game, but many people there are ruthless so watch your back. They do a good job of making you feel like it's the best place to work and you are lucky to be there, for awhile, but when the blook is off the rose, watch out.
