Pros
Decent pay and overall good mission to help improve K-12 education.
Cons
Churn and burn culture, poor sales management, 2nd investment firm in less than five years, constantly changing target, ill-performing and unfinished products with ever-increasing prices, and a metrics only attitude (no room for work smarter).

I'm sorry that your experience at Renaissance was a negative one, and that you don't recommend us as a place to work. Working smarter is critically important to our long-term success and we have included many ideas from our front line teams into what and how we do things today. - Samir Joglekar, EVP Sales and Services
Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.
Cons
The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
