Rosetta Stone

"I work on the Lexia ("literacy") side of the business under the Rosetta Stone umbrella, and honestly, it's the best job I've ever had. This is the first job I have been able to work 100% remote, and I don't think I've ever been more productive in my life. My boss is incredibly supportive, encouraging, and flexible, and my colleagues are as well - there is a big emphasis on being part of a team, and we connect via video calls and Slack chats often. There are a lot of women in leadership roles, and the culture is very family-friendly. Work-life balance is extremely important, and it comes through clearly from high up - occasionally they will give us "surprise" holidays for the whole company, and they usually give us extra-long weekends for the national US holidays (ex: Friday and Monday off for Memorial Day weekend instead of just Monday). Hours, at least for my team, are very flexible to fit our personal work styles. For example, I work better early in the morning, so I typically work a 7am-4pm schedule - but if I have any appointments or interruptions during the day, my boss is fine with me taking whatever time I need and making up for it earlier/later in the week. It's a great feeling to be trusted and respected as an employee. On top of that, the vacation/sick time package is very generous and the health benefits are outstanding. The only drawback worth mentioning is that my pay is somewhat lower (perhaps 10-15%) than what I would have expected; however, in my situation, the savings in gas and tolls more than make up for the deficit, but it's something to consider when applying. Personally, as long as Lexia/RS keeps up this rare kind of diverse and employee-centric culture, I plan to stay here the rest of my career!"

"It's great to work for a mission driven organization. The benefits and policies support good work-life benefit and most managers truly value and support their employees. "

"Only if you'd like a job where you can cruise through it after you've learned the ropes. "
