Company in Distress - Strategicially, Financially, & Culturally

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall Great Mission, many very talented employees, some great products, and State of the Art Office (if you like an open floor plan)

Cons

Constant "negative" Change, significant turnover, frequent layoffs, low company morale (despite boasting being a "Great Place to Work", which appear to be forced results). The Company is struggling financially. Senior Management continues to try to develop new strategies to align the company to the market and to react to competition that is stepping into the EdTech space, but unable to build processes to support those strategies.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are many great people scattered throughout this company that care about what they do.

Cons

Continual lay-offs, decreasing benefits, lack of leadership, management in disarray, and no transparency about the actual financial health of this company. This company is free-falling into a very bad place.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible work hours and the ability to work from home.

Cons

Two or three layoffs per year. It appears they want to close all offices in the Western U.S. I suspect that only Reston VA and Malvern PA will survive. They are VERY stingy with raises.
