Pros

Overall full of great people and exciting leadership. Keenly aware of the transformation of education (and society!) and actively positioning itself to stay relevant and valuable, even leading much of the change.

Cons

Size can be an issue. Lots of overlap of responsibility and many have an addiction to conference calls with 20+ people on them.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
