Pluspunten
The company desires to help educators and students. We are located on the NCSU campus. Access to the greenway is a short walk. A career alternative to teaching. We get to learn perl and html. One-third of our employees are academics with advanced degrees in science and math.
Minpunten
The education industry has changed over the past decade and WebAssign is not keeping up. We have been too conservative in our approach to strategy and product development. Management problems have plagued the company for 3+ years and are still present. After the founder passed away several years ago, we lacked strong leadership that can craft a real strategic mission and vision, not just words on paper. We have many educators in the building but none of them are in senior leadership positions. (We love our CAO but he doesn’t count since he has no power to make changes.) Publishers are building similar content delivery systems and they will no longer need us in 5 years. We don’t have a plan B.
