-Company Culture Lacking Integrity and Fairness - Toxic work environment - Micromanagement rampant at all levels - Unequal distribution of workload among team members - Favoritism from team leads leading to a lack of fairness - Senior team members exploiting juniors - Lack of defined standards and structure - Took away the main benefit.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is disheartening to hear about your experience working at 2U, as it does not reflect the kind of company culture we strive for. However, feedback like yours is integral to helping us continue to evolve as an organization. While this isn’t the proper forum to address everything in your review, we would like the opportunity to provide clarity on your review of our unlimited PTO benefit, which is available to all full time U.S. employees. We believe that the unlimited PTO benefit empowers employees to take the time they need, when they need it, without worrying about PTO accruals, sick days, vacation days, and so on. The benefit is still unlimited, meaning there is no limit to the number of days employees can take, just guidelines in place to ensure that time off requests don’t impede a team’s ability to conduct business in a timely manner. We are concerned to hear about your experience regarding a toxic work environment and favoritism. As a people-first, highly collaborative, and team-oriented culture, this does not reflect the work we do to ensure we maintain a welcoming, inclusive work environment. We’d like to learn more about your observations and feedback so that we can work to ensure all of our employees feel a strong sense of belonging at 2U. As for some of the other things you mention in your review, we would love the opportunity to better understand your experience and clear up some inaccuracies. If you are willing to chat, please email us at feedback@2U.com and reference “my Glassdoor review.”

Pluspunten

Coworkers across the org were amazing people at all levels. Years ago it was a very rewarding and special place to work.

Minpunten

Senior management (SVP and up and especially C-suite) is disconnected, lackluster, and has no plan other than to milk the company for whatever is left while they boast about how incredibly intelligent they are. The company went from a great culture (in spite of horrendous DEI policies between 2020-2024 that drove a wedge between employees who had differing points of view) to a cultureless hellscape where layoffs or fear of them were constant and brain drain was the norm as anyone who could leave did. Now a conga line of executives jump on board for ridiculous salaries as they make senseless course corrections while disregarding the advice of the few fantastic VPs and directors who remain- belittling them on calls and ignoring their expertise in front of their subordinates. Soon after their plans fail, they leave- much richer and with much more to boast about on their resumes as compensation declines and workloads for the lower level employees increase in their wake. In most cases, total compensation was reduced by nearly 25% a year for multiple years in a row since 2020 through loss of stock options, ESPP, and bonuses while layoffs contributed to a dramatic shift of workloads to some departments and employees.
