Pros

Good colleagues. Have acquired companies and products that are actually quite good. The leadership is proving out to be better than expected to be honest. We seem to recently be doing better than many companies out there and certainly many in Edtech.

Cons

Would like to see the 401k match improved.

Pros

Newsela is a mission-driven company with a deep commitment to educational impact. The work directly supports educators and students, and that purpose is clearly felt across the organization. What truly sets Newsela apart is its people—collaborative, thoughtful, and among the most hardworking and talented professionals I’ve worked with.

Cons

As a fast-evolving Ed-tech company, leadership and priorities can change that requires a high level of flexibility and adaptability.

Pros

Work flexibility. Knowing you are helping students to understand what they are reading.

Cons

School-type cliques are tiresome. Little to no regard for long-time employees, many of whom were callously replaced with AI.
