Pros: Good work-life balance. Good leadership team that is respectful of employees. Encourages staff to take charge on new initiatives. Good benefits.

Cons: EdTech in general is in a phase to rediscover product-market fit. This is a challenging time to join, but if you love the idea of empowering students to study on their own terms, there are a host of heroes here to work alongside you.

Pros: The culture is great; people are super nice and willing to collaborate. Amazing WLB. Many people work no more than 20 to 30 hours per week. Low expectations. Remote-first and family-friendly, with no pressure to come into the office. Lots of small perks for a company of this size. Parent company is doing OK. Profitable business.

Cons: Two mass layoff rounds in the past year. One medium-sized one followed by a large one. Company has halved in size from its peak. Business model is under severe threat from ChatGPT, may no longer be functional, and is in steep decline. Compensation is below market. Many talented individuals have mostly left voluntarily or by layoffs, while coasters and OGs remain. Leadership is a disaster: no strategy and extremely poor communications. Founders and C-levels do not engage employees outside of scheduled events; instead, they hide away planning the next layoff and telling white lies to employees, such as cancelling the holiday party. Company is moving to Keep The Lights On (KTLO) mode, not investing in talent or new ideas.

Pros: Nothing other than good work-life balance.

Cons: Two layoffs in 2023, with more to come. ChatGPT has finished off the business.
