Vantaggi

Like others have said, they offer a competitive starting salary, cell phone, tablet, free snacks, good PTO, a lot of well educated, smart employees

Svantaggi

Most of the employees there are either people looking for another job and are deeply dissatisfied, interns or new hires that don't know any better yet, or those that have been with the company for too many years and have so many non-transferable skills, that no other company would want them. There are a lot of cliques and it reminded me of being back in grade school. Employees can get away with bullying others and writing gossip to management in their joke of a review "tool" called twitter. There's no HR and absolutely no experienced managers (if you can even call them that) - instead, management is comprised of those that have been with the company since its inception or a few that have "worked their way up" that don't have any business leading others. Really, management is an illusion anyways because this whole circus is run by the CEO. There are "partners", but they have no ownership or power - they are figure heads. The focus is on absurdly expensive company parties and themes that have absolutely nothing to do with what we do as an organization. Priorities are completely out of whack, with everything is secretive, there's no business planning, no direction, wasted time in pointless meetings, and zero respect.

In September 2017, Rubicon was acquired by a private investment firm focused exclusively on the education industry. As part of the investment, we welcomed Chris Stasi, formerly COO at Chalkable, as the new CEO succeeding the original founder when he retired. This change in leadership has led to significant improvements throughout the company, including organizational structure and new management, product innovation, and competitive employment packages.

Vantaggi

The best people!!! You can wear many hats and learn and grow in the areas that interest you Fully stocked snack closet and fridge - with the good stuff! Beautiful office Good pay Awesome affiliate non-profit that benefits education in Haiti Rewarding to work with educators

Svantaggi

One guy at the top makes all decisions (the "partners" aren't real partners). He's clearly a smart guy but it was frustrating to be asked for input on products that were launching only to have none of the input put to use. Work was normally rewarding except when things suddenly shifted (ideas scrapped, directions changed), then it could feel a bit wasted. We kept losing customers for the same reason and it was never solved (integration with an LMS). Rather than building an integration with an existing LMS we tried to build one from scratch ourselves, but never finished it and then started working on other projects, all while losing customers who usually cited the same reason (say it with me): integration with a learning management system. It just wasn't as useful to customers without that, which sort of made the employees lose faith in the value they were bringing to educators, and since most of the employees were former educators it really impacted morale. Also, bit of a glass ceiling.
