Pros

Software engineering leadership successfully handles their time to allow for process improvements and individual employees improvements

Cons

Two big issues. 1) Imagine Learning overestimated their customer demand after covid. Their tools just aren't as useful or wanted when Teachers aren't forced to be at home and districts are desperate for software. 2)The culture environment from the very top of engineering leadership down encourages hubristic attitudes. The louder and more obnoxious you "self identify" your intelligence, the more you appear as a good employee. The more senior developers are proud of their pedanticism and will say as much. Meetings often ended up the worst offenders trying to talk the loudest. If you did not participate in the hubristic ways you considered as not contributing.

Pros

Pay is competitive. Remote work. A few days a week of regional travel at the federal compensation rate. This has been an educational entry-level job to learn the basic stakeholders and sales cycles for K-12 curriculum. The people I work with are great and knowledge/experience is a strong resource at this company.

Cons

The higher leadership of the organization does not foster a positive, collaborative culture. Different teams/regions work in silos. Any collaboration and communication happens primarily by our own individual efforts. Also, systems change yearly. It's difficult for everyone to adapt, and as a result the sales team has little faith in following the process. Job security is iffy. There has been continuous talk of eliminating my position in my state for over a year now.
