Pros

- Friendly and understanding management with good work-life balance and flexibility for schedules (including remote work) - Friendly and compassionate atmosphere with supportive coworkers - Very passionate about equity and really tries to live up to and embody the company's core values - Doing top-quality work in a space that makes a meaningful difference - Good healthcare benefits including vision and dental

Cons

- Tends to overrun resources; the company is historically always slightly understaffed for the initiatives it is running - Top performance demanded; not a place where you can get by just coasting (although breaks and pacing oneself are encouraged to avoid burnout) - Lower compensation than some of the pure tech-centric employers in the Seattle area; it's not bad, but not a place to work if your top priority is making as much money as possible

A mess to trudge through

Pros

Remote work from anywhere. You're supplied with a work laptop. Most who are still there are aligned on the company mission and genuinely care about educational outcomes in computer science.

Cons

Processes are outdated or non-existent. The CEO changes the direction of the product on a whim, based on hot buzz words he's heard recently. There's very little room in that model to improve or fix existing issues. Morale is fairly low. Employees have been fired for nonsense reasons, but aren't replaced by new hires. Those still at the company have new responsibilities piled on when this happens, but little to now training to prepare. Benefits are also fairly weak.

Building the boat as they go

Pros

Small company where the majority of people are very kind. You get to work remote and they will supply a laptop and any other requirements for the role

Cons

There is a lot of shuffling. Someone who worked there for a long time had their position changed three times in a little more than a year and then fired. A whole team was laid off before they had a system in place to replace them. I was fired for a "skill issue" after about three years but never told what the issue was. The raises are also once a year and not congruent with inflation. The communication between teams is lacking.
