Good location. Nice building. A lot of food options. Close to DART.

Inconvénients

I knew Academic Partnerships was not a good place to work when I was there but now that I am looking back on my experience at AP, I cannot express to you enough how bad it was. It is the most poorly run, mismanaged, immoral company I have ever been a part of. Executive leadership hires people on a whim, promises them the world, only to fire them a few months later. Decisions are not based on any metrics or data – They are based on how leadership is feeling that particular day. I came to work every day thinking that day could be my last. Leadership picks and chooses who they pay well, give raises, to, give bonuses to, give stock options to, etc. – There is no rhyme or reason to any of it. Pay ranges do not exist nor does equality of pay for those at the same level. There is zero professional development and zero career paths. They rarely hire within so they don’t care about investing in their current employees. Once you are in a job, you will be there forever (and you may even have to reapply for your exact same job – Yes, this actually happened to one department). Academic Partnerships does not have a good reputation in the education industry. When I was looking for jobs, I quickly learned that a lot of companies have a policy of not hiring employees from Academic Partnerships because they know what a toxic, shady, and poorly run company it is. I know HR will reply to this review saying that this isn’t true, they don’t “incentivize” employees to write positive reviews, etc.; however, it is all done under the table and “discreetly” (except for the fact that employees talk).

Having spent the past year at Risepoint, one of the things I appreciate most is that the organization genuinely values people. There is a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and creating an environment where employees can do meaningful work while maintaining balance in their lives. The mission is important, but so is the recognition that the people advancing that mission matter too. For professionals passionate about education, workforce development, healthcare, and creating opportunities for others, Risepoint offers a chance to contribute to work that has lasting impact.

Avantages

Strategy at the surface looks great. The engine is interesting and effective, albeit the avenues of growth are quite limited—a great place to work on several interesting projects simultaneously.

Inconvénients

Chaotic Decision-Making, No thoughts given by Exec Leadership to Change Management, Sequencing, and scaling things. Operations suffers from Poor Exec Leadership, a lack of thoughtful execution, and proper planning. Some parts of the organization are being run as a fiefdom. No processes and micro-management. No work-life balance.
