Pros

There are some nice people working there

Cons

The management is out of touch, rarely in the office, and making knee jerk decisions, based on flimsy or flat out wrong information, in an attempt to appear in control. There is no proper training in place for anything other than the product itself. New hires should be on guard from those who are training them and watch for attempts at sabotage and undermining your success. The office location is also a negative, public transit is very limited and there are very little in the way of food options close by. The pay is very low and the expectations are very high.

IXL Learning Response
6y
I am sorry to hear that you didn't have a positive experience while working with us. Unfortunately, you were only with us for a short time and perhaps missed an opportunity to experience more positive aspects of our leadership and work culture at IXL. For example, we just hosted a fantastic week of workshops for the development team. Engineers, PM's, Designers and QA team members formed new ways of working together, aligned on our product vision and organizational objectives, and had an opportunity to hear from our CEO, COO and other leaders. I do wish you all the best in your next career endeavor.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
