Pros

- Decent place to work if you're lucky enough to be on any of the nicer teams.

Cons

- Couple ex-Amazonians wanting to act like this is Amazon - But remember, a Goose is male, and a Gander is female - Figure out why the statement - "what's good for the goose, is good for the gander" - isn't necessarily always true. - Reorgs too often with quiet covert layoffs. - People blowing their horns tend to get further than most who don't care much about stuff like that.

Pros

The people were pretty nice and there was a work-life balance.

Cons

Although this company sits at the forefront of edtech, behind the scenes they are unorganized. Lack of tools to extract data, to make work impactful and putting bandaids over challenges, rather than having the difficult conversations.
