It's been good and I would recommend my frields or professional network to join.

Being recruited by Newsela in 2020 was one of the best moves of my career. I have endured so much growth, personally and professionally. It is a job, there will be bad days and good days, but most of the time, I am thrilled to be a Newselite. Just ask my friends; I never shut up about it.

Very good experience thus far. However, no pathway for career growth which is concerning

I find Newsela an interesting combination. There are so many wonderful things: fascinating people, shared drive to improve education, flexibility with working hours and time off. There are also things that frustrate me: work feeling mired in perpetual ambiguity, people leaving, lack of transparency.

I'm proud to work at Newsela and happy that I have the opportunity to positively impact education on a daily basis.

The leadership team listens to their employees. We have company surveys, and then an all-hands centered around the results and strategies to improve them. I have never worked for a company that has genuinely approached this topic.

I appreciate the obvious and deep concern with providing value to teachers and students. I appreciate the details on what's going well, what we could improve, where we're headed, including explanations about why.

Listen to individual Contributors not just managers, remove favoritism when promoting, bring in true leaders and not just managers.

In general, the more clarity of direction we can get, the better.

The compensation package may not align with many other tech companies, but other tech companies will not offer you as healthy of a culture and work-life balance that Newsela does.

fair to the market rate

Comparing in the labor market, I don't think Newsela's compensation package is outstanding. Though, not comparing for a second, of course my salary is the most important part of what Newsela offers me, and I'm incredibly grateful for the privilege of having such solid financial stability.

There needs to be more done around equity and access for people with disabilities or limitations. Due to medical issues, I was not able to attend company events in-person and, in one situation, no remote joining was provided. In another situation, the remote attendance setup was poorly organized

Too scattered and haphazard, needs to be made consistent and responsive. Too many candidates lost in convoluted and unresponsive process.

Improve equity/inclusion for those with disabilities/handicaps/conditions. Make remote attendance of events accessible and inclusive. Also, please train management on language that gives the perception that those who attend in-person are sacrificing more ("thank you for taking time away...")

Toxic management team that is dishonest.
