I have really enjoyed my IXL experience overall. The work interesting, the ability to help students is satisfying, and my coworkers are great: friendly, supportive, and super bright and capable. I also enjoy great work-life balance.
Minpunten
I can understand where the reviewers are coming from. That said, those negatives are things that I have experienced rarely or that have little impact on my day-to-day work life.

Thanks for the review and adding some balanced perspective!
- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance
- Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office
Minpunten
- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance
- Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard
- Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers
- Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
