I appreciate the autonomy we have to get stuff done. My leadership does not micromanage and they are comfortable with having me make decisions and manage up accordingly. I have flexibility in my day to get work done.

Review from HR Dept

There is a real willingness to foster a collaborative and connected work environment. Hierarchy is not stiff, and care is abundant.

The HR team does a good job building a transparent and accountability culture that creates a positive environment at Course Hero. There are frequent in-office and virtual events, quarterly Goody Boxes, and budgets for Employee Resource Groups.

Review from Marketing Dept

I think we have a fairly open and honest culture, and I appreciate the details shared during the all hands.

Review from HR Dept

We have an annual retreat week in the summer to attend workshops, talks, team offsite events, volunteering, and fun competitions.

Review from HR Dept

Fantastic work-life balance and passion behind team members.

Review from HR Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Management need to dedicate more time and effort to ensuring we develop the product and integrate our acquisitions instead of pushing through soft HR initiatives that won't be helping us in the long term.

Review from Engineering Dept

The company should be more transparent and their actions should match the language used when stating the most important thing to the company is its people.

Review from Operations Dept

Define what the culture is. The company is regularly confusing culture with in-person interactions. When we went remote, there was no action (to my knowledge) to upgrade cultural practices based on successful remote practices. Remote was always considered temporary and no changes occurred.
