Frustrating place to work

Pros

Decent benefits, Smart colleagues, working for a company that can potentially make a difference to the education of kids the world over

Cons

A company that makes it money from publishing books but wants desperately to be a technology company - yet has no idea how to achieve that. Messy internal systems, never-ending reorgs and non-existent communication make for very low morale.

Pros

Very employer focused from top management down. Nice perks like company car and summers of (well you work about 20 hours a week in summer). Everyone is professional and focused on the goal of selling texts and technology.

Cons

Rough job to do every day, but that is the industry standard.
