Business outlook
Pros
Nice mission (teaching kids to read with technology). Nice people who are passionate about their work. Some good patents. Lots of smart people who know a lot about the educational software market. Adequate to above-average benefits.
Cons
Product is just not competitive in the marketplace - years and years behind where it should be. The pace of development at Scientific Learning is glacial. Senior leadership doesn't have an adequate plan for growing and becoming a relevant company. As a consequence, salaries aren't particularly competitive with the rest of the bay area. Check the stock price - it's not an accident.
