Pros

On the levels of specialists through directors, employees embrace the opportunity to do good and meaningful work. They are smart, creative, hard-working and truly care about improving lives by building great teaching and learning tools.

Cons

Endless and confused reorganizations. A very real sense that the company is panicked and directionless. There is bitterness among many employees/ex-employees who feel that the company does not invest in helping them to remain relevant in whatever that new company will be. For an education company, this is ironic. Also, the quality of products--and the quality of work life--has deteriorated significantly with the move to outsourcing.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
