Pros
  • You're part of a company legitimately trying to improve education.
  • Pay is acceptable.
  • Fully remote work.
  • It's usually easy to take time off.
Cons

A shocking lack of talent in senior positions.

Always replacing things that were done wrong with a new way of doing things wrong.

Criticism offends people.

A constant state of overdue projects makes people burn out or tune out.

Advice to Management

Fix the checkbox promotion process that demands time and effort but not skill. Poor execution is dragging everything down.
