Avantages

- friendly, intelligent, easy to work with, and diverse colleagues - Remote-first workplace with a flexible PTO policy - yearly learning stipend

Inconvénients

- limited salary/career growth, no career ladders, minimal/nonexistent raises, and scarce learning opportunities - 'functional leadership team' maintains a closed-door approach, which hinders broader access to advancement and recognition, even for those who contributed significantly to key projects - The product is outdated and overpriced, resembling something designed by a novice in the early 2000s. Sales and growth numbers reflect this, so I’d strongly recommend examining financials closely before joining, especially if you're in sales - BenchPrep suffers from an identity crisis and lacks a clear direction in an already saturated market. - Leadership lacks strategic direction and experience, leading to frequent priority shifts, mass layoffs, and a toxic environment. - Many managers have been promoted internally without the necessary experience or training to lead teams effectively, a consequence of BenchPrep being too cost-conscious to hire experienced leaders externally.
