Pros
I feel sad as I write this review because I wanted to work for Paper for a long time. I had it on a pedestal, almost. I truly believe in the mission, but it seems the company has shifted immensely. Pros were kind people who gave me a chance.
Cons
I don’t even know where to begin. When I started with Paper, I was thrilled. I thought this was where I was meant to be. I quickly learned that Paper really displayed the true meaning of “fake it til you make it”. The swift changes to the company missions and goals, made it seem like they were having an identity crisis. The opt-in/out, followed by two massive rounds of layoffs with no heads up of the state of the company was devastating to so many. The level of disconnect I felt from the CEO/higher ups - who have never *really* stepped foot in the classroom as an educator was astounding. Expecting cold calls to schools during testing season to talk about usage? Be real. It was embarrassing. But what really got me was the utter lack of communication and respect. It was by far the most unprofessional experience I’ve ever had and it all trickles from the top.
