Pros
Lots of high caliber coworkers. Work life balance is great here, but also you are in a fast-paced environment, with lofty goals (that the company usually achieves) that has changed the education space significantly. The work is interesting and you can learn a lot about how to build impactful and successful products. There is very little bureaucracy - it's easy to get things done quickly. The management team genuinely cares about the employees and spends a lot of time supporting the culture and being flexible to meet folks' needs. One unique thing about working here is that everyone is here to help make the world better - so the culture is very collaborative, not at all competitive and folks are always willing to help each other out. Compensation is reasonable (really good for a non-profit) and competitive for smaller non-public tech companies. And it can be super fun to work on a product that kids and teachers absolutely love!Cons
It's hard to work in the education space, with a mission that focuses on equity in computer science, without also needing to deal with the divisiveness of our political system. If you don't want to deal with politics in the workplace, this may not be the place for you. The leadership holds strongly onto the north star to make sure the primary focus of bringing CS to all kids is achieved, and I think they do this really well for the most part, but it has caused internal conflict as not everyone agrees with some of the rhetoric. But if you look at the actual product of the company - the affected state policies, the curriculum, the marketing, the videos, the software representation, it's clear that this company is having a massive impact on equity in CS education. This political division may be less of an issue now than it was a year ago as the company has tried to address this. Latest Jobs at Code.org
