Pros

none, best part of the job was leaving

Cons

worked at connectedu for over a year. the senior management was TERRIBLE. No one worked together, and there was never a clear vision. Project management/development essentially was buying other companies bc they were incompetent. I would not recommend my worst enemy to work for the company. Everyone knows it is a sinking ship, but are to afraid to jump. HR was everything but helpful, focused on a promoting an "Entrepreneurial Program". Essentially allowing snobby Brown University kids to work on mindless/irrelevant projects.

Pros

The mission of the company, the customers, and the talented employees. Anyone paying attention to the press coverage for the past year will continue to see the impact ConnectEDU's solutions are having on the education sector.

Cons

The lack of understanding of how much there was to turn around in this company has had a tremendous impact on employee satisfaction. Ex employees calling anyone "despicable" should pretty much validate why they're no longer with the company. It's also incorrect to state that Senior Mgmt is never around. The CEO travels to Boston every week and I think his family would have a real issue with a comment like that considering all the sacrifices they've personally made to make this company successful. I'm not saying there aren't challenges, there definitely are, but I find people genuinely care about their colleagues and the overall success of this business. I also disagree with the comments about the lack of expertise/knowledge in the education sector - people need to do their homework before making blanket statements like that. There are key employees and some mgmt members with impressive backgrounds and relevant experience that are critical to the future of this company.
