Pros

Flexible schedule. Free food. Good people.

Cons

Leadership simply refuses to get on the same page with one another or learn anything from the smart people they hire. Why does the CEO have his fingers in customer service? Why are products forced to look like they work even when they clearly fail. In spite of HRs attempts at training on radical candor, those who speak up on behalf of students are marginalized, ignored, or simply let go. No one cares about actual engagement now. Just produce a product with no execution plan and bogus success metrics and watch leadership gush. 5 minutes with anyone below middle management and they’d tell you what’s working and what’s not. But leadership doesn’t care about that.

Pros

Strong team, worked with really smart people.

Cons

Compensation sounded great until you learned the market could not sustain the growth rates the company was targeting. Company tried to scale way too fast. 10% of team hit quota. 90% missed quota. 40% sold almost nothing.
