Pros

Working to build quality educational tools is challenging and extremely satisfying.

Cons

This is now a seriously messed up company. Upper management is out of touch with customers and employees. Many experienced employees who were able to navigate beautifully on their own and guide others have been let go. New employees contribute, but lack the experience to see work through and bring it to full dimension.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
