Pros

Provides really good lunch. Most of the colleagues are good people.

Cons

- management: The company is run by a bunch of hypocritical bureaucrats who thinks that they literally own you. Employees are forced to work late nights and weekends without being compensated in anyway - annual pizza's and pint of beer doesn't count. - work-life balance: It's a joke. There is none. Have you heard of those Chinese worker camps? - Extremely biased and Misogynistic: Number of female developers in the company alone proves that - there are more Eskimos in Africa. Favouritism and nepotism is zealously practised. - Work space/environment: Its a wagon tragedy. There is too little space and too many developers. Besides, managers who run around like those Reich commanders in Stalingrad makes it even worse. Too noisy to do any cognitive task. Even though most of the colleagues are good, there are a few - especially higher up - who can ruin it for everyone. It often feels like some fight for a lead role in a cage. - pay: Your salary almost always depends on how much power you have while negotiation, and how good you are at selling yourself even when you add zero value. Besides some of the newbies are paid terrible low, and are being chained with a 2 year bond. Also, a part of you pay is bonus, which is often used to terrorize you to work harder. - notice period: A never-heard-of-before 3 months notice period is being practised to chain people here. It pretty much makes sure that its hard for you to find another job. And I think that its one of the core reasons why people are stuck in this company. If it is made any shorter all most everyone will leave. - celebrations: its just a cheap parlour-trick. Tricks the employees into thinking that they care, while all they want is colourful pics for their shiny social media pages. Probably a good way to attract people who cares about those fake niceties companies do. Basically its run like one of those East India Company ventures in 19th century British colonies. Unless one is too desperate for a job, find something else.

Pros

I worked as a Business Development and Marketing Intern with Edulastic over the past 5-6 months. Regarding company culture, the team at Edulastic is easy to work with – everyone is approachable, open to answering questions, and contribute to coworkers' tasks when workloads get full. Furthermore, (and perhaps most critical to the quality of my experience as an intern) I was able to lead different projects I took a particular interest in, such as helping to recruit and follow up with educators for the Edulastic Innovator Team. I would recommend this internship to anyone looking to learn from a variety of projects or interested in opportunities to take initiative with growing specific career skills - I myself was able to foster many skills, including writing customer development emails, developing relationships with different educators throughout the country, and researching leads to contact for our internal database.

Cons

Could use a little more structure for intern payroll system.
