Pros

Decent pay, with the opportunity to work alongside people who are caring, innovative, and who believe in the company’s mission.

Cons

Confusing priorities outlined by leaders who don’t clearly communicate the roadmap. Inconsistent treatment of employees largely dependent on favoritism and proximity to decision makers. A culture that is resistant to real change to examine how to be truly inclusive and receptive to the feedback that people of color are reported to be experiencing. Reports of people needing to take repeated mental health days to cope and recover from repeated micro aggressions, targeting and retaliation given the toxic work culture in certain departments.

Pros

The people I work with are incredible: brilliant, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to making the world a better place through education. I feel proud of the curriculum we've created and of the high standards we've held ourselves to. Great work life balance, and wonderful support from my manager and director.

Cons

I think it would be great for this company to move to a 4-day work week
