Pros

lower level team has many young educators and programmers who work well together and help each other to create a positive work place

Cons

Top heavy; management receive inflated salaries to do little to no work; constantly driven by becoming a successful company that the CEO can sell off and make money on. Little to no understanding of their main clients, First Nations in Canada. Out to make money on them because of grants

Pros

Work from home contracts for employment

Cons

Andrea Simmons - awful and should never be in a leadership role. Misrepresent themselves as an Indigenous business to only make money off First Nations with selling them back educational materials in Indigenous voice and language/

Pros

I speak highly of my time working at Learning Bird. I am coming from an education background and was able to apply my skills to meaningful work in a supportive setting. - Interesting projects and partners: the projects are dynamic and it meant I felt engaged and interested in my work! - Person-first attitude: there is an encouraged work/life balance and leadership ensures employees feel supported. - Regular feedback: I was continually growing and developing. - Weekly reflection meetings: allowed for collaboration between coworkers, reflecting on what was working, what needs growth, and making a plan for change as necessary. - Effective internal processes: cohesion between teams and the successful delivery of projects to partners. - Fun: I thoroughly enjoyed the work I was doing and felt as thought the conversations I had on a daily basis were about effecting positive change within the world of education. - Staff professional development: Learning Bird focused on growing staff as employees and people, including implementing a book club that supported staff camaraderie but also personal growth. I would highly recommend working for Learning Bird. I had been an educator for over a decade before joining the company and learned so much through my time working with them that I have since applied to my current work.

Cons

I don't have any negatives of the organisation. They were very supportive of my working in a different timezone which allowed for increased flexibility in my hours.
