I just saw an opening on this website for an R&D Position at POLYSCHOOL near Olympic Park. I've heard mixed things about POLY, and there is a Glassdoor post from an R&D writer who enjoyed their work there.

Basically, has anyone done this or heard about this position? I wouldn't mind working on textbooks, etc. as I think it sounds like a fun job but I'm just not sure.

Had an expat friend who worked for their R&D - he and I are pretty close so I heard all about his experience working there. PM me for details.

I heard Poly schools are terrible- they work you to the bone.

Chains to avoid:

Poly
CDI
SLP
Herald
Wonderland

Yeah, it's not for teaching at a Poly school. It's in the Researcher and Developer department.

R&D? Seriously? You'll be writing passages and test questions for, what, a few million a month? Do that in your spare time and sell the passages and questions.
