Avantages

The products are truly beneficial to students and teachers. They are probably the best in the market and its very easy to find teachers and administrators across the world that would validate that. Impressive engineering, product, and research teams that provide a strong backing of customer success and tech support.

Inconvénients

a Chief Revenue Officer was recently hired. It seems he is systematically pushing many of the best leaders in the company across the country out of the organization and is replacing them with his cronies, most of which are coming in with zero ed tech experience. The culture of this company used to be predicated around helping accelerate learning for students. Since the CRO's arrival the culture has become centered around increasing sales pipeline and increasing the company valuation at all costs. The new culture being implemented by the CRO and all his inexperienced leaders he is installing that are just doing whatever he says because they don't have the experience to know better are severely damaging the sales team and slowing down student learning in the process. Pay is also a major issue with this company. Year over year you can expect to get paid less and less for your work. When you have a good year you will be forced to increase productivity by 25-50%+ in sales to make the same amount as you did the year before.

Avantages

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Inconvénients

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
