Cognia Product Department Employee Reviews

Used to be OK before the pandemic but the financial impact thereof has meant that staffing shortages have been a consistent problem since and compensation/benefits have gotten worse.

Review from Product Dept

It is a great company to work for. The working atmosphere and the benefits are great. The only negative aspect is that we don't get "true" information about how the company is doing.

Review from Product Dept

The CEO is extremely hierarchal, plays favorites with groups/divisions, and becomes defensive when questioned. There is a lack of trust in the organization because he states that financials are "fine" and then layoffs follow immediately. Stated values are abandoned when the political winds change.

He is a visionary leader who sets high expectations. This combined framework is healthy for these changing and unstable times.

Review from Product Dept

Overall, I've had a wonderful experience at Cognia. The teams work well together, there is flexibility, work-life balance, and attention to mental health. I love that there are options for both hybrid and remote work. I enjoy contributing to the organization.

Aside from her great skills and communication, my manager personally care about my work, my difficulties, even my and my family conditions, She helped me a lot on my work and personal life (that I shared with her), which really motivates me to do my best to support the team.

The executives need to work to build trust, transparency with financial information, and commitment to values that are essential for an educational nonprofit.

The best part is the 12% investment match by the company.

Review from Product Dept

IRA matching is very generous.

Retirement contribution by the company

Review from Product Dept

Vacation days and retirement benefits remain good, but current health insurance plan is very bad. Between skipping COL increases to avoid layoffs (that then happened anyway) and getting very small ones, I am not sure compensation is keeping up with inflation.

Review from Product Dept

I am not under-valued. I am a contractor and not a full-time employee. I don't expect benefits.

Review from Product Dept

My team are knowledgeable and committed and always willing to help each other (workload permitting).

Review from Product Dept

It was 7+ years ago, but it was honest. I interviewed a few different times with different people.

Review from Product Dept

Clarifying, I didn't really interview for my position. I started years ago as a volunteer team member and progressed through experience.

Review from Product Dept

I liked the structure of the interviews but did not like that there were 3 separate interviews.

Review from Product Dept

Mostly the casual and friendly way of interviewing while still focusing on the skillsets and the ability to overcome difficulties at work, which I think is fair.

Review from Product Dept

I enjoy being able to work from home and knowing I have good pay and benefits to complete my job.

Review from Product Dept
