How employees describe working at Carnegie Learning
The CEO doesn't have a clue. All he is interested in is making money. He doesn't care how we get things done or how hard we work. Deadlines are deadlines, but they change their mind more than I change my 1-year-old's diaper. Don't work there. It's a nightmare.
Interview seemed professional at the time. They asked good questions. Reality of working there didn't match what was presented during hiring process.
Easy process and fair process
Passionate people who want to make the best education resources available to everyone.
I feel valued and seen at work, while also being part of something special that is making a difference in classrooms.

IDX: 0 TOT: 24
How much diversity is there among employees at Carnegie Learning?
Poor age diversity and zero disability inclusion. Company eliminated experienced workers over 50 and failed to accommodate employees with disabilities, violating both ADEA and ADA. Management plays favorites based on age and personal preference, not skill or experience. Diversity initiatives ring hollow when two protected classes are systematically excluded from the workforce.
What kind of people does Carnegie Learning like to hire?
Young, healthy, and willing to overlook how they treat older workers. Bonus points if you don't have disabilities or ever need medical leave. Experience and institutional knowledge apparently less valuable than fitting their age demographic preferences.
What unique perks and benefits does Carnegie Learning provide?
Below-average medical benefits for company of this size. No unique perks that offset their treatment of employees over 50 or those requiring ADA accommodations. Standard remote work option, but management demonstrated it won't protect experienced, older workers with medical needs from discriminatory termination.
How often do employees get raises at Carnegie Learning?
Raises rarely happened for employees over 50 regardless of performance. Younger, inexperienced favorites advanced while senior workers—especially those with ADA accommodations—were phased out instead of rewarded. If you were older or had health needs, termination was more likely than a raise.
