Business outlook
Pros
Honestly wants to change the face of public education, and has a lot of great ideas for doing so. Many of the long term employees have devoted their lives to education reform. The goals of the company are admirable.
Cons
Trying to be structured like a startup, but with non-competitive salaries (for technical roles at least) and no equity, so there’s not a lot of upside potential. Also may be shooting too far ahead of the market to be able to be profitable any time soon. Attracts people dedicated to the field over people capable of delivering on the big ideas. Struggling to maintain good office culture and to hang on to talent.
