Cognia Employee Reviews

My work experience is good. It has room for improvement, but I do all I can to ensure my responsibilities are solid.

Review from Admin Dept

I have worked with this company for 10 years. I love my job and enjoy working each day. I get to meet and work with many school districts and schools and build meaningful relationships to help them with their continuous school improvement. We have a great team of professionals working here!

Review from Operations Dept

The best part of my day is supporting education institutions provide the best possible educational experiences for their students and families.

Purpose driven work keeps us motivated.

The company has a strong vision and mission, with good collaboration and working relationships. Time off and retirement benefits are also solid. Overall, I feel fortunate to be working for a good company.

Review from IT Dept

The leadership team has established effective communication processes.

The leadership team always takes the time to listen to employees and provides appropriate updates as needed.

Review from IT Dept

The leadership team inspires confidence. They are experts at what they do, they communicate the mission clearly, and are transparent about the steps they take to ensure the success of the organization.

Very eager to help in anyway possible

My immediate manager is new however she is trying to learn what we all do. The executive team is hardworking and is there if you need them.

honesty, integrity, teamwork, inclusiveness, discipline

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

Recognize employees who are working hard and get rid of staff who just work half days and do not add value to their teams.

Working together to reduce duplication of efforts as supports are provided for those working in the field with clients

Review from Operations Dept

Absolute strength is our retirement benefits!

The health benefits package is the best when compared to other employers I have worked for. The 403b is amazing, and I can say I am not sure any other employer could come close to our benefits package.

Review from Operations Dept

The best part of my compensation package is the company's contribution to the employee's retirement fund.

Health & retirement are both good.

Generous PTO and awesome retirement match.

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 full time and do not receive benefits. I was satisfied with the pay until we were given more responsibilities.

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

Review from Product Dept

The folks that bring the most money into Cognia are paid the least. There is no incentive to bring in more business, do quality work, or improve. All opportunities are given to folks who are directors or above with the RAE's treated as peasants.

As a part-time worker, the work is increasing yet the compensation remains stagnant.

Innovative, positive, hardworking, encouraging and creative

Collaborative structure to produce quality deliverables.

We are a small team, but we’ve been helping and covering for each other whenever neede

Review from IT Dept

Work well together and know their jobs

Willingness to be open; making sacrifices for the benefit of the whole team; sense of humor

Communication can always be improved upon. Clear defined roles within departments for who handles what, so there isn't always a pass off to someone else when asking questions.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Co-worker support, creativity, and collaboration

Supportive leadership and healthy work-life balance

Review from IT Dept

I love the culture of this company

That we all get along and every department is important to achieve Cognia's goals.

There are opportunities to be involved and connected with others to the degree you choose.

Review from Customer Success Dept

More collaboration, more collaboration, more collaboration. We have too many C suite people who think they know everything

Support greater hybrid flexibility for those that provide services and supports outside of M-F 8-5

Review from Operations Dept

was pleasant and inviting (not reflective of the actual work experience and environment after hiring)

Although my interview was quite some time ago, I recall being comfortable and prepared.

The process was professional, yet personable. Zoom isn't my favorite way to interact with people, but it works.

Review from Customer Success Dept

The communication between the talent/HRA team during the interview process.

Review from Customer Support Dept

It was done with a positive attitude.

Review from Customer Success Dept

the focus of the work involving improving education

Making a difference with schools and educators

I love working for Cognia. I enjoy working with the districts/ schools, getting to know the leadership. Knowing I am helping our customers achieve their goals and continuous improvement efforts is very satisfying. When they call just to say hi, that makes my day! Relationships are everything!

Review from Operations Dept
