Vantaggi

- The EdTech industry is booming - One of the very few EdTech programs that is actually cool. I've had customers ask to work here, and I've had customers ask for a selfie because I work here. - Flocab is changing classrooms for the better. Can a company mission get much better than that? I love telling people what I do! - You know how most companies act like they're incredibly unique, but they do the same thing as hundreds of other companies? You'll have a very hard time finding another company that uses hip-hop in the classroom. - The product is done incredibly well. We only use professional rappers and professional beatmakers. They seriously made a unit about the types of rocks sound awesome. Everyone in the creative department is extremely talented. - The customers genuinely love the program. - Everyone in the office is incredibly nice, smart, and great at what they do. Many employees are seriously impressive. It's easy feeling lucky being on the team. - The founders have a great vision for the company, and they couldn't be nicer. - The company has a great focus on diversity. - Great vacation policy, compensation, and benefits. Company-paid insurance! - They keep the kitchen stocked with good coffee, snacks, and drinks. - A very nice, cool looking office in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Svantaggi

- The EdTech industry is booming, but it can be a difficult industry to crack. You may not always know the best way to do your job. I think that's exciting. If you're the type of person that likes absolutely everything spelled out with no surprises - you may not enjoy it. - Like any startup, you may not have an idea of where your career will go next. Again, I find this exciting. If you want a super clear career path, you may be better off at keeping corporate. - The office can sound a little quiet because most employees wear headphones while they work. I've enjoyed working at companies that have light background music. Obviously, this isn't a big deal.

Vantaggi

-Great company mission - rewarding -Unlimited vacation after 1 year of working with company -Casual dress code

Svantaggi

-Unfair treatment around promotions/raises/new titles (favoritism)- very inconsistent across org -Company is growing really fast - lots of new hires over past year who are not properly trained and on-boarded on current company structure, internal processes, how departments communicate/work together, internal systems and the product itself (especially leadership/managerial level positions)! This has complicated and interrupted workflow countless times across the entire organization. -Limited room for career growth -Unimpressive holiday pacakage. For example: never have off Veterans Day, very mediocre summer Friday policy (especially for a startup/tech company) with only 4 summer Fridays the entire summer. -Work-life balance - most employees stay late/are expected to stay late (at least it feels this way). On Fridays no one leaves early, ever. This is weird for a startup considering most NYC Corporate companies encourage employees to leave early on Fridays. Office doesn't clear out on Fridays until 7pm. -No transparency from management, lots of secrecy -Mediocre annual raise package -Management is never in the office - or if they are, they don't make their presence known. For such a small company, this greatly affects morale and gives off the sense that management doesn't care about the company/employees
