Pros

Technically my tenure at Boundless was less than a month, though I was a full time employee of POLS for four years. During my time in that organization I can confidently say that my coworkers there were amazing. They were kind, hardworking and dedicated people, who wanted to do right by their students and partners. Full stop, this is the only redeeming quality of the company.

Cons

Lay offs - Boundless was acquired by an operating company that essentially bought POLS for scrap. A bulk of us were blindsided and terminated for being top earners (we were specifically told that performance was not the reason we were laid off). I always got back stellar performance reviews, and had a great working relationship with those around me. It simply boiled down to I made too much money (I was underpaid by industry standards fwiw). Leadership - Kees (current CEO not reflected here on Glassdoor) and team are at best completely disconnected from the business. There are alarming inefficiencies at all levels of the company, many of which could be turned around. But the amount of arguing, miscommunication and lack of process surrounding any business improvements result in a complete stall of progress. This trickles down to the director level pretty regularly, and the only leadership I could ever reliably count on working with me were my direct managers. Most of the time their hands were tied to make any meaningful impact. Poor outlook - It's pretty clear Boundless will be belly up within the next year or so. Internally they were losing partnerships left and right, they are bleeding money, and the OPM market is definitely on the decline from 2020. POLS/Boundless used to be the number one provider in the market, and has since continuously slipped behind competition that is also currently floundering. If I had to guess, Pearson "sold" POLS to Regent to make it Boundless simply to remove any obligations from severance and PTO payouts and call that a job well done.

Pros

Nothing since Regent LP took over

Cons

Sinking ship, I urge anyone who wasn’t made redundant to resign as soon as you can. There is no doubt the Australian part of the company will not even see 12 months with boundless. A large meeting was held where they introduced the 20 new directors no one had met before and then followed it by saying there will be mass redundancies. Company is going in a terrible direction and is led by greedy and untrustworthy people. Throughout the whole process of Pearson telling us we’re being sold there was absolutely no indications that 40% of staff are being laid off, resulting in everyone feeling blindsided. What they are doing is disgusting. Money hungry people who don’t care about the people, laying off 40% of staff who are good workers and have given a lot to the company with no sympathy. It’s only a matter of time before more people resign and it is all due to the poor management of CEO and directors of boundless learning.

Pros

Some good people are left there, not many though.

Cons

All of it. 2 weeks before I was laid off with no PTO payout or any kind of severance, I was assured by my leader that my role would be safe. I have never witnessed such a bare faced liar in all of my corporate life. This company has no strategy, lies to its academic partners and will not last. Regent make the wolf of wall street look like a saint by comparison.
