Amira Learning Reviews

Grossly negligent in diversity. Period. So the equity and inclusion piece is a definite miss. You are not paid what you’re worth and when you think stepping in tho take on projects to help the team while simultaneously doing your job. (Quite well might I add) gets you nothing but middle and upper management worried that you’re not getting your work done when all the while you’re getting your work done and some of theirs. The CEO is woefully disrespectful and tactless in what he says to people. Specifically people of color. I was once asked “what someone like who’s from the hood know about eating a medium rare steak. I should have known then that there would be major problems. Politicians were paraded in and out of the office while we tried to work and it was difficult to keep focus at times. Diversity and inclusion is pretty much non existent bc when the senior management doesn’t believe in it, how will real change happen? One of my colleagues at the time was called volatile and hard to get along with by a member of senior management. That colleague was never the same. Senior and middle management stressed the open door policy but the funny thing about the open door policy…is the door needs to be open both literally and figuratively. And there’s much to be said when the majority of the employees don’t fill out the company services. Is it because they are scared, or they’ve been encouraged not to share their true feelings, or have they been threatened. Guess we will never know. The company is no longer its own entity it seems so that answers the w Yes toon about where they will be in 6 months. I’m thinking obsolete. And that’s unfortunate. The amount of workplace trauma, toxicity, hatred for mankind, overt and covert racism, bigotry and mysoginy was unbelievable and gut wrenching. Management is very concerned with making sure you know they are in charge and they will protect their own. However when some of your own are being fired on the spot they are nowhere to be found.

Leadership has increasingly prioritized revenue over mission alignment. There is a clear disconnect between the company’s stated goal of helping every child learn to read and internal directives that discourage working with smaller or lower-enrollment schools because they are not profitable enough. That contradiction is difficult to reconcile for employees who joined because they believed in equitable access. Executive communication style can also be challenging. Late-night emails (9pm, midnight, 2am) with urgent or harsh tone create a culture of anxiety rather than trust. Instead of inspiring alignment, it often feels reactive and financially driven. There is limited transparency around strategic decisions, and morale has suffered as a result. The product is strong, but leadership behavior and messaging undermine the mission and the team.
