Pros

Talented, kind teammates who truly care about quality Flexible working arrangements and supportive colleagues at the peer level

Cons

No transition planning for leadership roles; management duties are either left vacant or pushed onto already overburdened employees without extra pay or authority When I stepped into management, I inherited chaos with no support. After I resigned, history repeated itself Serious understaffing issues and unrealistic timelines, especially during and after the company merger Management dismisses concerns and feedback, “stay in your lane” was a common response Raises are inconsistent and rarely match inflation, regardless of performance Editorial quality has been deprioritized in favor of quantity. They scrapped the editor role entirely, claiming “AI can do it,” and cancelled the contract of the editor I had just hired No team meetings, no coordination, no real support after management left. Team members are expected to manage themselves HR is not there for employees, only to enforce leadership's decisions, no matter the cost to morale or output The Prague office now produces master’s-level content that I believe is lower quality than some free online courses
