      Golden Handcuffs for Everyone! Hard to get in unless you know someone, but you'll wish you were out.

      Pros

      Excellent salaries and benefits; Generally positive reputation for future of education work, Strive and New Tech Network; Strong relationships with U.S. Department of Education.

      Cons

      Nearly universal lack of accountability and performance measurement (don't like a goal? change it. don't like the new one? change it again!); A few toxic employees bully and browbeat at will with no apparent consequences -- how many women need to be re-assigned or depart the company before this is stopped?

      This place caused some very smart people to have nervous breakdowns

      Pros

      Great mission and work, transforming Ohio's schools.

      Cons

      Horrible management, negative, humiliating, screaming. A lot of crying coworkers, one actually had a nervous breakdown her first few weeks there and was hospitalized for it. I remember actually staying late to work on projects while my boss called in to check on us. He'd left early and was having a Corona in his backyard and joking about it.

      Pros

      I miss the people I used to work with. They were passionate and talented and worked hard to achieve the mission of serving kids.

      Cons

      I left work every day feeling terrible about myself. People were crying at the office, getting yelled at by managers at work. The culture was very negative.
