Business Development - Business Development bei Learning Objects: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Small, innovative, agile company on the rise Based in learning science and focused on learner success Fantastic physical space in downtown DC

Boot-strapped growth through new client acquisition sometimes makes it hard to get out ahead on the product roadmap. But we're getting there.

- Excellent location, just above Dupont Circle metro station - Spacious, fun office - a lot of hardworking, intelligent coworkers - interesting software problems to tackle - more recent focus on and success with UX/discovery-driven product development - recent better release management, higher quality control across development lifecycle - all employees have a strong say in what to do, within reason - free snacks, drinks, monthly team lunch, monthly company happy hour, annual holiday party - 401K match 3% - commuter subsidy - CTO is incredible - flexible telework, work/life balance - culture _usually_ avoids becoming too brogrammer-y - relatively good employee retention

- pay raises are nonexistent, thanks to Cengage acquisition, unless you get a promotion - some not-so-diligent coworkers, making you feel like a fool for working so hard for the same pay with no hope of a raise - salary good but becoming less and less competitive - no on-site HR person? - could be more diverse in engineering and executive areas (largely white, Asian, male, as in most of tech and executive areas) - office is falling apart with ceiling leakages/debris, fumes from restaurants below stinking up the air - Cengage uses ridiculous rules to get around DC laws so that they don't pay out your unused vacation if you leave the company and make your rollover sick leave effectively useless, limiting you to the sick leave you accrue in one year. so use it or lose it. - executive direction changes somewhat often, leaving individual contributors confused
