Pros

Free food The management team is finally paying attention to Glassdoor reviews! They met with the Glassdoor team to figure out how to place positive reviews to the top of the page and push low ratings/reviewed down. Managers also asked their direct report to write shiny reviews to gush about the mission and culture.

Cons

As much as the management team wants you to believe in the mission, it is quite unsettling to believe their huge push to raise the product price to $1000 is something that will help students learn. I feel bad for our students because they are paying 40% more for a product that is low in quality. The services we are offering don’t justify the price tag at all. When we raise concerns to managers, they reiterate the importance of our mission. It is a hard to be convinced that what we are doing is worth the effort. Management team uses all hands as a time and place to instill fear in employees instead of addressing our concerns.

Pros

Strong team, worked with really smart people.

Cons

Compensation sounded great until you learned the market could not sustain the growth rates the company was targeting. Company tried to scale way too fast. 10% of team hit quota. 90% missed quota. 40% sold almost nothing.
