Avantages

Your co-workers are awesome. The company has great events and some of the competitive benefits they employ to engage with Ivy Leage talent trickles down to the rest of the staff.

Inconvénients

Routine, mysterious mass firings. I saw this happen four times in my year and a half there, and each time the firings gutted departments. They treat full-time employees like contractors -- use until not necessary, and then fire immediately. They started an NC office for the lack of labor laws and the ability to offer non-competitive salaries compared to other locations. They take full advantage of both of those factors. COO is incredibly petty. Employees have to fight for basic equipment that is necessary to complete their job. Are you an engineer? Don't assume you'll have a second monitor! IXL tries to fails to cultivate buy-in from it's employees. Some of the lower level management is great, however, it's hard for employees to feel engaged when they are constantly treated poorly. Multiple departments changed their payment basis from salaried to hourly, negatively effecting morale, some people get laptops, less important ones get notebooks, etc. All of the above is SOP for IXL Learning.

Yes! Our people are awesome and one of the reasons we opened an office in Raleigh is to draw on the great talent pools in the area without having to engage in bay area talent wars. We aren't perfect but we do our best to offer competitive salary and benefits as well as a fun office environment. And just to set the record straight, it's a federal law, otherwise known as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), not companies or managers, that determines whether positions are considered hourly or salaried. Companies are required to comply with FLSA or be fined. I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your time with IXL and wish you the best.

Avantages

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Inconvénients

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
