Horribly managed company. No wonder they went bankrupt. The base salary was rough and there is no incentive for you to do well since you cannot earn commission off education. The company had a ton of DEI initiatives which were cool. They hired terrible managers who coasted all quarter until they needed to crack the whip. 2U's board then hired BCG to find more efficient ways to run the company and finally they trimmed down on everyone who was completely unnecessary to the business. Unfortunately it was too late, the entire business plan was flawed from the beginning and 2U took on tons of debt while they snowballed products and still had a horrible time selling then during the pandemic when remote education was supposed to be "hot"

There was little to no investment in sales. We had little inbound in a saturated market and unrealistic quotas. Individuals and teams were great, however, leadership was not great and few female leaders.

Initially started out democratizing education, but quickly turned into a call center. The numbers were not even looked at at the VP/SVP level. Too much pressure on input metrics vs. outcomes led to failures
