Pros

- Every last Friday of the month is an extra day off - You will be left alone during holidays, no one oversteps boundaries set by you - Feedback is actively acted on (something rare to come across) - Unlimited no-questions-asked PTO - Relocation and WFH bonus (one time) - Free therapy! - Food coupons - Really good work life balance - Mindfulness from other employees, if you're going through a tough time (they'll make sure to leave you off the hook and give you the space you need)

Cons

- Might need to go the extra mile to convince managers for trying different ideas - Relatively new company, so policies are still being built and slowly put in place - You'll have a hard time leaving this place (not a real con, but honest truth)

Pros

When I joined the company it was well run and the people were great. Yes, as a start-up it could be chaotic, but that comes with the territory. The product was good, and we had some of the smartest, nicest people you could ever hope to work with.

Cons

No real focus or vision in terms of how we should progress and where we should focus on efforts. Leadership doesn’t really understand the educational space all that well which could explain why sales struggled.
