Pros

- kind and talented colleagues who are trying to do their best work - professional fulfillment in serving education entrepreneurs - interesting problem space - good benefits/perks

Cons

- hyper-focus on profitability over customer value - a total lack of company vision and strategy in a saturated market is a recipe for burnout - toxic positivity from leadership does not foster trust and sucks the energy out of talented people

We're happy to hear you enjoyed the kind people, perks/benefits, and the mission we're on to impact the world through education! On the flip side, we appreciate your feedback on the not-so-good experiences and will take this feedback to improve. We can definitely recognize that strategy changes are not always easy to navigate as we've had to adapt to a changing post-covid world. Through change comes many learnings which have helped our team create a clear 2023 strategy and position for Thinkific in the market. Thank you for your time at Thinkific - we wish you all the best!

Pros

- Amazing Location - Beautiful office - Very friendly working environment and not stressful - Very understanding team - Unlimited vacation days policy - Lots of foods, snacks, and beverages - Pet-friendly office - A place that supports you to learn a lot and develop your career - A place that listens to everyone's idea and promotes it - A personal win is a company win and a company win is a personal win and we celebrate all the wins

Cons

- Salaries are average, not competitive, you might get a higher salary somewhere else, however, there are many other things that compensate for that! - Very fast paced company, you snooze you lose, you need to stay always alert and cope with the speed - Still building the process, this can go in both cons and pros, you might not find a good process that helps you but at the same time, you get the chance to participate in building one :)

Thank you for the feedback! One of the things we work hard to do is provide a work environment that helps our team feel productive while working, comfortable (and heard!) while sharing their ideas, and especially where they can feel they're learning and growing in their careers. We've come a long way in building out our processes and we're so fortunate to have team members who help us to continually improve them!
