Pros

* Remote environment * Trendy and important mission * Potential to be cutting edge

Cons

There were many red flags from the interview process to the first official day. I knew from the second I started officially that it was a mistake. Any educational professional who has even a year of post-secondary work experience will know to run once hired. The programs offered to students have great potential, but, unfortunately, the CEO is ill-equipped to manage a real day-to-day non-profit or business. The other negative reviews are honest and accurate. I cannot recommend this company to anyone over the age of 22. The micromanaging and the poor hiring of family members makes TCS a non-viable workplace.

Pros

CEO is passionate and driven to innovate in the STEM education space and real impact is made as a result. One of the few CEOs who will give you the space and resources to do your work fully and will only come in to micromanage if you majorly mess up. Great work-life balance. Team members always got 5-6 weeks of PTO.

Cons

CEO has made a number of bad hires for senior level positions over the last few years as the organization has grown. They’ve slowed the organization down and created a negative hierarchical culture. A lot of the disgruntled employees here were hired by these senior leaders and then let go by the CEO in the last year. CEO should have acted sooner - it was clear they were incompetent and blamed CEO for any of their problems. Seems to be fixing it now though.

Pros

I don't see a reason why anyone would want to work here. With time, I saw all the smart and positive employees leave. I was one of them.

Cons

The CEO is awful. This horrible person has hired a few minions who have ruined the workplace culture. These evil people do no work but play mindless and childish blame games. They don't want to work but just spread hostile feelings and toxicity. When my patience ended, I left. I haven't regretted that decision ever.
