Pros

Excellent salaries and benefits; Generally positive reputation for future of education work, Strive and New Tech Network; Strong relationships with U.S. Department of Education.

Cons

Nearly universal lack of accountability and performance measurement (don't like a goal? change it. don't like the new one? change it again!); A few toxic employees bully and browbeat at will with no apparent consequences -- how many women need to be re-assigned or depart the company before this is stopped?

Pros

Great mission and work, transforming Ohio's schools.

Cons

Horrible management, negative, humiliating, screaming. A lot of crying coworkers, one actually had a nervous breakdown her first few weeks there and was hospitalized for it. I remember actually staying late to work on projects while my boss called in to check on us. He'd left early and was having a Corona in his backyard and joking about it.

Pros

I miss the people I used to work with. They were passionate and talented and worked hard to achieve the mission of serving kids.

Cons

I left work every day feeling terrible about myself. People were crying at the office, getting yelled at by managers at work. The culture was very negative.
