Pros

The team is really committed and everyone has this common purpose about helping others to learn and grow. There is a lot of energy for new ideas and growth mindset.

Cons

No cons, the company is scaling and growing so changes can happen more frequently and sometimes this takes some getting used to.

Pros

-Had the opportunity to help people learn a valuable skill, which was very satisfying. -Was once full of talented, hardworking people who were working on a few products they shared a common passion for. -The team was generally nice and easy to get along with before they were mostly let go. -At one point, had a thriving community full of learners that could help each other along with supportive staff. The Discord channel is now barren.

Cons

-Pay for instructors is poor and lags the market. No system for royalties means they can use you to make a course, let you go, and keep collecting money from your work indefinitely. -Marketing and sales seemed to be disconnected from what was happening in course development and student experience, leading to friction. -Upper management could never seem to decide on a game plan that stuck. Lots of pivoting. Possibly due to pressure from higher-up at Avenue Living. Little to no transparency into decision making was provided. -The company culture combines the cringey aspects of a corporate environment with the pay of a scrappy start-up. Make no mistake: parent company Avenue Living is not a start-up. -Some of the best Bootcamp students still don't have jobs years later which makes me uncomfortable considering how much the "career" aspect of them is pushed in Circuit Stream's marketing.

Pros

Exposure to new tech in industry

Cons

Co founder is friendly one minute, but aggressive the next if you ask clarifying questions. Founder changes mind and pivots so frequently that you don't know why you're doing what.
