Pay across the board is far under market rate. Most curriculum employees are only offered contract positions. The product team is very reactive and is focused on compliance, not innovation, which is ironic since they are obsessed with labeling themselves as “#1 in innovation.” DEI are given lip service but in reality, it’s ignored in curriculum development or only performative, such as using a picture of people of multiple races. But actually including diverse figures, uncomfortable parts of history for white people are vetoed. The focus on the curriculum team is providing a curriculum that in no way challenges white supremacy. Elementary curriculum was laid off en masse in December 20 days before Christmas with no warning. Employees weren’t offered other positions and contract employees, who were the majority of the team, received no severance.
