Pluspunten

Nice people to work with. Believe in their mission. Feel like you're can make a difference in education. Strong goals of using best practices and implement many of them. Have a few very talented people. Attempting to recognize talent.

Minpunten

Technical abilities are sorely lacking. Too many skilled programmers who's understanding is only skin deep. Architecture is an afterthought. Solve technical debt by shuffling it around and creating more. Virtually no coordination among programming teams. Spend most of your time fighting the system and not actually doing your job. Many in senior positions are poster children for cargo-cult. Talented individuals get stuck supporting and maintaining the system because they're the only ones capable of doing so.

Pluspunten

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Minpunten

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
