2U reviews about "leadership"

The company used to be good in many ways, but has since prioritized senior leadership above all else (including actual efficient/smart business decisions). The mission has been the sacrificial lamb for a long time and they continue to plow through incompetent CEO after incompetent CEO. They now don't even offer actual health insurance in part to save money, in part because no health insurance will sign a contract with them after their track record of financial irresponsibility (e.g., filing bankruptcy with no actual plan).

Constant restructuring and layoffs, forced return to office without enough desks for everyone, management decisions, lack of transparency, HR is completely disorganized, horrible health insurance, complete disregard for DEI.

Leadership set unrealistic goals that are unobtainable

Acquisitions were not handled well

After committing financial suicide by acquiring a non-profit for a whopping $800 million dollars, the company managed to destroy it's culture by favoring edX employees over original staff. That's when the company began it's descent into chaos. More bad decisions by the so-called leadership, constant restructuring with mass layoffs. To top it all off, blatant lies by the CEO about their ridiculous bonuses, right before declaring bankruptcy. The company was privatized, only to go through more restructuring. It's only a matter of time until 2U is sold to the highest bidder.

Lack of direction at leadership from middle management through CEO Company had overscaled and my entire team was laid off 6 months in

Inept leadership and terrible culture at the top. Revolving door of C-Suiters that grab their money and run. Lack of a product-driven roadmap. Cross-team functionality feels broken because of the lack of people available to do the work (due to RIFs and attrition). Low low low morale. Years of no review cycles, promotions, raises, or bonuses. A world of big promises and empty words.

Lackluster benefits and pay. Senior leadership is mediocre at best. If you're on a good team, you will like it here
