Pros
I did make a few colleagues that had the same passion as I did in the k12 learning space, and they too have since departed Dell from a sales and edtech team stand point.
Cons
The environment is extremely toxic across most teams. It is a truly a good ole boy culture/network. Little to no advancement for women, and women are devalued due to their "leaning in" of sharing their intelligent knowledge and ideas. Women's ideas are taken and education male team members reclaim them as their own. Leadership on the global and national perspective from the k12 educational team is male driven with little to no classroom or k12 leadership experiences. The male dominant team have been out of the classroom role for more than 15+ years, making their leadership styles, views and k12 education voice stale and irrelevant. The women members of the k12 education are the worker bees and are viewed as the mandatory doers of the delegated task lists. If you want to kill your creativity and have your professional character and image devalued quickly as an educator, then you would be the right fit on this disjointed k12 education team. They need to do some major housecleaning/ vetting of the male leaders and directors to make change and to be truly respected in the k12 teaching and learning space.
