Magic at MagicSchool AI - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij MagicSchool AI

An amazing workplace that emphasizes team first. People who really care about you and are mission driven.

No cons - recommend to anyone

The EPD team is mostly full of incredible, smart, kind people who are an absolute joy to work with. The team knows how to have fun and when to get serious. The CTO and VP of engineering are genuinely good people who care about their employees and know what they are doing. Honestly almost every IC in other departments I've worked with are extremely collaborative and good at their jobs. Helping teachers in your day to day job feels incredible, and they genuinely love the product.

Executive leadership has a very hard time trusting people. Their is very little respect for the product team and product direction mostly comes top down and feedback is not really invited. The CEO and president can't align on anything and it leads to very inconsistent product direction, way too much micro management and a ton of frustration for EPD. Some of the strongest EPD employees have left, and I know more are planning to if things don't change drastically, and soon. Top leadership exhibits some sexist tendencies that go unchecked because he is unable to receive feedback. If you apply here ask about product direction and roadmap, all about ratio of PMs to engineers, I think the answers to those questions would be telling regarding if things have improved since the writing of this review.
