Pros

Such a magnificent product that really does help students make sense of difficult problems, and persevere in solving them. I was so happy to be able to spread the company's mission and have students/teachers/admin get excited about JiJi the penguin. It was so fantastic to see how teachers could use ST Math to help instruction and get kids excited about what oftentimes is a daunting subject; it was as great to see students excited about learning.

Cons

You recruited me in the summer of 2016 and I quickly fell in love with my job. I left a secure job to join your team. Why do you scout for new employees when it's clear that you have zero means to retain them? This is evidently a trend at MIND Research Institute- look at the number of reviews here. Think reviews are only for disgruntled employees? Wrong. Look at how many people sing the praises of ST Math despite being let go. Look at how many CURRENT employees are fed up? The cycle of hiring and firing at this company is utterly unconscionable. I have never seen a company so mismanaged in my life- what an embarrassment and more-so a disgrace to lay people off who were great at their jobs and paramount in advocating for ST Math.

Pros

Great lower level people to work with, very dedicated.

Cons

The board of directors has no interest in the well being of the employees and have mismanaged the company to the point of having to lay off over 50% of their workforce.
