Pros
The people are incredibly smart and fun if you can stop working for a few minutes to enjoy their company. Great mission in helping students and educators to embrace digital learning.
Cons
For a company that claims to leverage technology they are woefully behind in many aspects (how's your refurbished pc with Windows 2010? No, you many not have a laptop but yes, you still must work this weekend.) Employee turnover is incredibly high and it is normal to think someone who has been there for one year is a "veteran". The culture is very "command and control" with a strict hierarchy of decision makers. There is an effort to make it more collaborative, but it has been with mixed results as even the committees set to develop new programs have to report into the same hierarchy to approve all of their work, so it ends up just creating more meetings and resentment for those involved. There is a huge rivalry between different programs as they expand or contract and are seen as competing for resources. There is also a tense relationship between the two offices in NY. 9-6:45pm while eating lunch at your desk is a normal day.
