Pros

- life/work balance frequently takes a pass on any work at all - beloved product provides enough inertia to continually miss deadlines and flub strategic initiatives - constant leadership turnover keeps things exciting - private equity overlords will probably make good on promise to "extract dollars" from cash-strapped school districts

Cons

- glacial development pace from amateur teams with little to no project planning - endless self-congratulation at every level of the company is exhausting - promotions are obviously more about DEI targets than merit or productivity - quarterly executive team junkets and gaudy all-company retreats amid benefit clawbacks and layoffs is cognitive dissonance for everyone

Pros

- Upper management will say all the right things to keep you happy. - I ended up with two stellar letters of recommendation from my managers.

Cons

- Nothing I was told in terms of upward mobility at the company ever came to fruition. When they realized I was doing good work I was strung along with contract extensions and the promise of a full time position for two years.
