Only ok, not outstanding

Pros

Decent benefits. Free fruit three times a week. They aren't shy about spending money on their employees, which is nice. They're willing to try new things and make mistakes. They have a great holiday party and nice offices in the Watergate complex.

Cons

My biggest complaint is a lack of work/life balance. As the company grows, they aren't streamlining processes. It just keeps getting more bloated with middle management and tasks. I'm not sure if their digital strategy in the College market is going to be a winning one, but they're trying to remain relevant as course material moves to digital resources.

Pros

Benefits are extremely good. Privately held company (blessing and a curse). Multiple office locations, allow for some remote positions. If you can fit in with the cool kids then you probably will retire there. Several great and talented people from other HED companies that bring a reality of the market to an otherwise inwardly thinking management team. Aspirational company mission which falls short because managers are on over their heads.

Cons

Because company is privately owned, living in their own insulated world apart from the real competitive market they don’t understand their place in the HED space. They are growing very quickly with a management team that really has no idea of what they are doing. Currently their world is great because the are seeing very nice growth. This will only last for so long. Because of the inexperience of the management team they are trying to expand into markets they have no business being in. Consequently pressure is on mid to lower level employees to outperform at the cost of very top heavy management who inexperienced, a bit arrogant and while they won’t admit it, learning on the job. High turnover at mid to lower level positions will torment this company for years unless they figure out what they are doing and what they want. Culture between West and East coasts is noticeable. Additionally if you aren’t part of the “club” you won’t last, upper management seems to favor those who can play the game rather than those who add value, perform and who speak candidly- sometimes saying things Leadership doesn’t want to hear. Bottom line...if you have good “BS” game and can survive/excel without performing this is the place for you. Enjoy the benefits!
