      A great company is wasting away.

      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.

      Great springboard, but look elsewhere for a real career.

      Pros

      The people are fantastic: dedicated, smart, and relatively low drama. You are working in an industry that matters, for a company that cares deeply about quality content.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible, opportunities for advancement are limited, and the new initiatives they have begun to roll out are harmful to employee growth potential within the company (though an excellent springboard to finding more lucrative employment elsewhere) and are pushing the company in the direction of being more corporate and cookie-cutter process driven.
