Pros
Company culture is really positive. Leadership has really great intentions of it being a great place to work and follow through on their goals and intentions. Communication from senior leadership is strong. Company as a whole is very value-driven.
Cons
No cons really. It's a very hard working company, they expect the best of its' employees so goals can be high reaching, but company puts high priority on employee wellness.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at 2U full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Amazing leadership, lots of opportunity for growth, and a genuine care for employees. Lots of transparency conversations about current events and leadership are often the one's hearing about employee concerns with things that are not directly within company control (think current political landscape). Company culture has remained strong throughout my time here.
Cons
We're a tech company learning how to do tech, without enough support from our technical teams to deliver what's required. We're great at selling the moon, as proven by our incredible partnership agreements. When relying on internal teams to deliver, it becomes almost impossible given the lack of resources/ tech expertise at the company. Work life balance is hard to achieve given our lack of tech resources. It is a great place to grow, but expect to overpromise and underdeliver or stretch yourself personally to try to get what's needed done. The company isn't without holes and the biggest is our technical support/expertise.
Pros
2U does a great job of balancing work and life.
Cons
Work is constantly evolving. You have to stay dynamic. I don't it is a con, it just may not be right for everyone.

Pros
2Utes are hard-working, spirited, driven, and smart. I continue to meet people in all different job functions that impress me even though our work may overlap only every so often, but I walk away feeling emboldened to know that they're in their roles and "giving it their all" in the same way that I do. The work here is always evolving as the company grows, and 2U has really matured as it has moved from startup to public to maturing public company. My boss genuinely cares about me as a person, and they are always there to support me. Same goes for everyone else I've ever asked for help from. People want not just to get the job done, but to get it done correctly.
Cons
I've been around and seen many businesses and places to work. 2U is unique - there really aren't any overall cons other than the day to day challenges that come with any job. Nothing significant enough to call out.
