Rotten to the core - Learning Advisor bei BrainStation: Mitarbeiterbewertung

the people were great, super friendly!

Wish I was given more tasks to do

Curriculum was modern, relevant, and kept pace with industry standards. Colleagues were knowledgeable, collaborative, and supportive. Facilities and resources were professional and well-maintained. Day-to-day teaching was rewarding, and students were motivated and diverse in background. The role offered valuable experience in instructional design, mentoring, and public speaking.

Significant organizational changes were announced without *any* communication from the CEO. Instead, information about shutting down certain programs and staff reductions was delivered indirectly through middle management. Executive leadership provided little to no transparency or acknowledgment during these transitions, creating uncertainty and eroding trust. Leadership decisions often felt inconsistent or short-sighted, such as narrowing program offerings and introducing restrictive enrollment policies that reduced access for nontraditional learners. Oversight was shifted to individuals without educational management experience, leading to poor communication, lack of support, and questionable professionalism. Team morale and culture deteriorated rapidly following layoffs and restructuring. Overall, leadership demonstrated weak communication skills, minimal visibility, and questionable judgment during pivotal moments.
