Pros

Having been with Interplay Learning from its very beginnings as a three person startup, I've seen it grow from strength to strength in all areas. I'm privileged to be surrounded by passionate people who always strive to make our already excellent product the best it can possibly be, and salespeople whose talent and belief in that product enables them to consistently break through sales records day after day. The value of working for a company who states in their mission statement that jobs should fit around lives rather than the inverse (and actually lives by that) cannot be overstated. I would not have invested the last 9 years of my life helping to build the company we are today if it weren't for the fact that I can't possibly imagine a better place to work.

Cons

Working here is likely to spoil you for the ordinary.

Pros

Interplay's product is unique and impactful, and it feels good knowing you're improving the lives of the people who use it. Most employees are driven, passionate, and care about the success of each other and the company. Work/life balance is good and the company encourages people to take time off. Salary has improved over the years and is closer to industry standards.

Cons

While a lot of the people who work there are nice, the culture suffers from the toxicity often found in tech. As a woman, I was often interrupted and talked over (along with my female coworkers), and my numerous complaints were never handled properly. During my exit interview with the company, I was told that my concerns were never a priority because there were always more important issues that needed to be dealt with first. Other cons include no 401k match and less time off compared to other companies.

Pros

Used to have a great culture but it’s performative now and not real. Run! It is fully remote for most employees so that’s good.

Cons

This company does not care about employees at all. they had one person managing culture who kept the community alive and they laid them off. The only department that they care about is sales, every other department or team is not valuable to them . they care about profit and that’s it, and they can’t even hit their sales numbers. They did layoffs instead of firing the exec leading sales, which is severely underperforming, then ended up firing him anyway after the layoffs of innocent employees (not a single sales person affected for some reason?) while burning several bridges. This company is failing and it’s failing fast and it’s clear the ceo just wants to get the company to a place they can be acquired. Speaking of acquisition, they acquired a company foolishly too and it was all downhill from there. They also are terrified of anything “deib” to the point that they can’t even support or mention things like Pride or diverse holidays or anything with the LQBTQ community (you aren’t safe here). Their ethos means absolutely nothing but they’ll act like it’s their guiding light. Their actual guiding light is lining the pockets of execs and the investors at Goldman Sachs. Do not join this company, they will make foolish decisions and then lay people off. Tell me why they’re continuing to hire more sales quota carrying people when their current ones can’t even hit quota? Nobody there can make any decisions that make sense. Amateur hour. Also, the salary for 99% of employees is way too low, it’s honestly insulting. And their “generous” 4 week severance packages for surprise layoffs is even more insulting. Avoid like the plague.
