Health (Gym/Fitness) and Professional Development is encouraged and funding is provided to support both. Personal and professional growth are strongly encouraged. Colleagues and CEOs are supportive, helpful and encouraging. I've had many jobs in many different fields, this one trumps them all. Accomplishments made by the Game Team went ignored or were barely mentioned, while departments like Education and Marketing were praised constantly. They actively refused to call themselves a 'game' company and rebranded from 'Prodigy Game' to 'Prodigy Education' to separate themselves and pushed all their effort into a new tutoring initiative in order to make money. What made Prodigy unique was something the higher-ups in the company began to resent. I witnessed firsthand from class trips how great it was for kids who needed more help as a class could be spending time practicing math on Prodigy while the teacher was able to then focus their attention on individual students who needed that one-on-one help. Parents and Teachers could see the analytics on the backend and know where their student was struggling in order to better help them. Prodigy branded itself originally as a way to make learning fun for kids and what made their product so incredible was to gamify learning in a way where the product actually fostered an excitement for math in kids who previously held fear or hatred for math. Ever since then, the company has been on a downward slope and I, unfortunately, don't see any potential that things will change. This, however, was unfortunately short-lived and quickly died out at the beginning of 2019. The company's mission, culture, and environment were almost everything you could want from a job, and I couldn't have been happier in the beginning. Prodigy was a place I once constantly praised and actively encouraged people to apply to.
