Pros

It was exciting working at a startup with lots of room to grow… until it wasn’t. Middle management listened to us and my coworkers were inspiring.

Kontras

CEO and VPs are all horrible managers. Not one of them had ever had any experience in business or education and they were all senior managers of an education business. CEO and VPs promised customers impossible products and got angry at the SMEs and middle managers when they gave them more realistic timelines or product scopes. Many of my coworkers ended up on the verge of nervous breakdowns and ultimately quit. Having no job was better than having a job with Code To The Future. Fun at first but a person can only take so much of being abused, lied to, and worked to the bone.

I’m sorry to hear it was your experience that you felt overworked. Team members feeling stressed about their workload was not a consistent or systemic problem that was brought to our attention. At Code To The Future, we want to cultivate an environment where team members feel energized, fulfilled in their work, and have a healthy work/life balance. Also, it is unclear why you felt you, or customers were lied to, but please know that Integrity is one of our core values at Code To The Future, and it is a value that our team consistently operates with and holds in high regard. Since the time when you were at the company over 2.5 years ago, we have persevered through the COVID season and remain dedicated to go above and beyond for our students, teachers, and schools. We are always seeking to improve, and wish you the best in your future job endeavors.

Good experience. Quality and fulfilling work.

Reimbursements took forever to get back to employees. This made constant travel difficult.

Pros

The majority of the implementors of curriculum and coaching were wonderful people with great ambition and expertise. So I guess they somehow attracted the right people

Kontras

Hard to find a place to start: - this company hardly had a "curriculum" but managed to sell to districts around the country on it - the CEO was 99% absent. There was no vision, no quarterly goals, not yearly outlook, no regular cadence of meetings--you know the most basic managerial stuff you'd implement with a distributed team. He didn't come to conferences we hosted with our clients. Unreachable most of the time by his direct reports. At times inboxes were flooded with 10-20 emails from the CEO that were written at 2am answering a bunch of questions with 0% chance of actually making progress toward a decision - Highly nepotistic: Family run business and most the direct reports were friends. Would have been fine if they listened to anyone who actually had a degree in education or had spent formal time in the classroom - Everything was bottlenecked. There was next to zero innovation toward becoming sustainable

Sorry that you were most likely impacted by company-wide covid layoffs during a very difficult season within education. However, there is no need to attempt to degrade the company’s positive reputation. This includes the statement about Code To The Future’s curriculum, which is not true. Our curriculum has been adopted in schools across the nation, and is highly respected for its positive impact on thousands of students. There have been seasons where it may have seemed our CEO was not as available, as he was either traveling to visit district partners, in meetings, working with the leadership team, etc. To address your points of emails coming in late, there was a season the CEO had to work from Europe, which may have caused the emails you claimed to come in late. The leadership team during the time of your employment was made up of experienced individuals who the CEO hired based on their skills and the value they brought to the organization. To be very clear, none of those individuals were personal friends when they were first hired, so to claim nepotism is untrue.
