Pros

*Attempting to make a difference in education *People recognize the product *Some decent people passionate about education

Cons

*Obvious cheating platform *This company is unabashedly political and it is demonstrated in the promotions and dispersal of work responsibilities. If you look around the company you will see people managers unqualified for their roles in leadership . *Processes are slow and delayed by the amount of decision makers needing to align (politics). The decision makers are also chosen based on favoritism. A lot of decision making happens outside of team meetings between leads and their favorites. *Climbers. The company has people who are hungry for status and it affects the culture.

Pros

Used to have a brand but leadership killed it

Cons

CEO (Kurt) has no idea how to lead. He provides no company direction, thinking he can hire his way out of things. But he doesn't hold anyone he hires accountable and believes lower level people are the problem. Then he lays off 50% of the company, blaming them and the board. Yet, it's his company and he never takes accountability for his failure to fix the problems. Now, he's lost both the board and the company so don't understand why he's still there. Oh, and the best idea he has is to quote Jack Dorsey and some VCs in building an AI native company.
