Buono - werkgeversreview Impiegato bij Lexia

Life/work balance; supportive team; strong work ethic among colleagues; everyone is driven to succeed and put forth their best work. It is an amazing place to work that I have 100% enjoyed.

Market conditions are really tough right now in EdTech due to the loss of ESSER funds and challenges coming from the federal govenement, which are impacting how many schools can buy our products. This has led to a couple rounds of layoffs, but that is inevitable in today's economic condition.

I was never overloaded with work, had coworkers who cared about the mission, and the benefits were decent. Lexia was a great place to work until it became part of Cambium.

The senior managers at Lexia are out of their depth. The company scaled quickly but didn't replace senior managers with people who know how to lead a large company. Past Lexia, at the Cambium level, it is even worse. The current CEO shows up occasionally in all-hands meetings and literally reads from a script, then spends a lot of time posting on LinkedIn about how she's a top CEO. The private equity firm that owns Cambium does what PV firms do - squeeze companies for money until they finally die. This is happening with Lexia now: multiple rounds of layoffs, entire products that are no longer supported, a company culture that expects everyone to always be happy and excited about everything and never push back. It was sad to watch it all fall apart. Relieved I'm no longer in the chaos.
