Discovery Education

I am proud to say that my team is the best team in the building. At Discovery Education, there are many talented individuals, and it is always enjoyable to participate in company events and gatherings, particularly at the DC location. It is an excellent opportunity to meet individuals from different teams, learn about their projects and partnerships, and broaden one's knowledge. The I.T. team is exceptional and is always available to provide assistance and answer questions during their bi-weekly Zoom meetings. They are not only knowledgeable but also friendly, including their managers who are exceptional leaders.
While I appreciate the company's commitment to Diversity and Inclusion, I have noticed that there is room for improvement in the execution of these values. Despite numerous conversations and meetings, there has been a lack of action towards the recruitment and retention of diverse talent. I urge management, executives, and the CEO to take more significant strides towards Diversity and Inclusion, making it a priority in 2023 and beyond. Diversity & Inclusion being a priority.

Discovery looks like a great place to work from the outside, but once you are hired, you immediately regret applying. 

Most mornings, one can expect to be greeted with condescending, nasty emails from Discovery Education senior management. Then, the rest of your day is filled with bullying, nit-picking, and more harassing correspondence from Discovery Education senior management. 

The pay is poor. Work/life balance is non-existent. I've never worked for a company where morale is so low, and so many employees are miserable.

I have met some wonderful individuals, and truly enjoy working & interacting with them. However, Discovery Education senior management goes out their way to make your 8 hours as miserable as possible.

Discovery Education has a wonderful mission - to transform learning experiences for both students and teachers - but as a company its incapacity to perform basic business functions coupled with a stale company culture are troublesome at best. The company is full of bright, amazing, and inspirational staff members who are under appreciated, overwhelmed, ignored and treated as disposable. Beyond being unmotivated to go into work each day, the lack of staff and resources makes work life balance impossible. Promotions and growth are also largely out of the question. I would not recommend applying for a job here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The mission and vision of the company, of course, along with the people who work there..

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful aspect was the constant organizational changes they underwent as they attempted to scale with the market.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment fostered collaboration, with a strong emphasis on achieving goals and meeting key performance indicators.

Discovery Education is a fast-paced organization that focuses on building strong partnerships, developing high-quality products, and providing a high level of support to clients and partners. There are lots of very creative, talented, hard-working people at DE who are dedicated to improving public education through the use of instructional media and technology. 

Compensation is generous, and benefits include in-building healthcare, discounts on gym memberships and at other local businesses, and a steeply discounted meal delivery service.

On a daily basis I made phone calls to set up appointments with district administrators.  Some days I traveled to deliver onsite presentations or set up WebEx's to demonstrate the effectiveness of Discovery Assessments and teacher resources.  There were no cons to this positions, only pros.  The most enjoyable part was promoting a product that was effective in improving student learning.

Discovery Education, Inc. provides a challenging work environment and work that benefits students around the world.  The company's groundbreaking product, the Techbook, which is available for Science, Social Studies and Math, is positively disrupting education and delivers resources that meet the various learning styles of today's students.

Since a private equity took over, they have laid off hundreds of people over the last couple years, and have moved several jobs over seas for cheaper labor. More layoffs are coming in the next few months. Upper management has not changed and can't seem to come up ways to make the company profitable. They only blame the state of the EdTech industry vs their lack of ideas and vision.

A typical day at work would be getting in touch with the client to see what their goals for the session I would deliver was. Then I would book travel and on the day of the training I would train Teachers how to use media and Technology effectively in the classroom.

Overall a good company to work for.  
Daily work can vary depending on time of school year.
Some path for advancement, depending on role.
Overall company mission, in helping educate children is a good one.
