Pluspunten

Purposeful work: Clear mission to make teachers’ lives easier with AI; educators respond well to tools like IEP support, analytics, and student tools when they see them in action. Product velocity: Fast iteration and a receptive product team; customer feedback can turn into shipped features quickly. Ownership: True AE autonomy—prospecting strategy, multithreading, and running full-cycle deals with districts and charters. Smart teammates: Colleagues are helpful, scrappy, and passionate about K-12.

Minpunten

Steep ramp & shifting targets: Expectations and KPIs can change quickly; short runway to hit full productivity in public-sector sales cycles that are inherently long. Territory dynamics: Smaller-district focus and fluctuating enrollments can limit ASP and create forecasting whiplash; patch adjustments happen fast. Enablement gaps: Sales motion, ICP, and procurement playbooks aren’t always fully documented; more structured onboarding and talk tracks for budget, security, and evaluation would help. Cross-time-zone comms: Fast decisions can outpace documentation; clarity on “what changed and why” doesn’t always reach the field.

Pluspunten

The EPD team is mostly full of incredible, smart, kind people who are an absolute joy to work with. The team knows how to have fun and when to get serious. The CTO and VP of engineering are genuinely good people who care about their employees and know what they are doing. Honestly almost every IC in other departments I've worked with are extremely collaborative and good at their jobs. Helping teachers in your day to day job feels incredible, and they genuinely love the product.

Minpunten

Executive leadership has a very hard time trusting people. Their is very little respect for the product team and product direction mostly comes top down and feedback is not really invited. The CEO and president can't align on anything and it leads to very inconsistent product direction, way too much micro management and a ton of frustration for EPD. Some of the strongest EPD employees have left, and I know more are planning to if things don't change drastically, and soon. Top leadership exhibits some sexist tendencies that go unchecked because he is unable to receive feedback. If you apply here ask about product direction and roadmap, all about ratio of PMs to engineers, I think the answers to those questions would be telling regarding if things have improved since the writing of this review.
