Major shift in company culture

Pros

Remote-first and flexible work environment, dependant on role and manager

Cons

Major shift in company culture in recent years. Instead of a steady-performing education company, we are now positioned as a poorly performing tech company. Merit increases are well below inflation, while the cost of benefits are skyrocketing. Path for promotion within mid-level, non-managerial roles has been ended. Massive push towards AI left the workforce demoralized.
