Pros

Working at MagicSchool has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company's mission to empower educators and transform education is at the heart of everything. There’s a strong sense of collaboration across teams, and everyone is kind, curious, and eager to solve meaningful problems. I’ve appreciated the autonomy given to engineers, as well as the focus on innovation and learning. It’s refreshing to be part of a team where ideas are welcomed and fast iteration is encouraged. Plus, the flexibility and respect for work-life balance make it a sustainable and enjoyable place to work.

Cons

Things move quickly and priorities can shift, which is exciting but may not be for everyone. Growing quickly comes with occasional ambiguity, but leadership has been proactive in addressing this.

Pros

Decent pay, solid group of employees with a high percentage coming directly from K12.

Cons

Lack of systems and when one is built little enablement. Goals and work load change nearly weekly if not daily. Since many come from K12 there is a more comfort with using brute force and accepting the current pay/equity, rather than developing systems or paying employees closer to the valuation of the company. Though they are early stage, there is little opportunity for cross team collaboration and the org is pretty hierarchical.
