Tackling the classroom’s virtual transformation When she isn’t amplifying employee voices, organizing inspirational hackathons or brainstorming customer acquisition methods, Himika Rastogi is most likely attempting to build something new. “We constantly organize competitive teardown sessions and user interviews to understand the changing needs of our customers,” she explained. As classroom settings go digital, Rastogi’s team is committed to curating an educational experience for users that exudes Course Hero’s mission of “always learning” every step of the way. Camaraderie impacts more than just culture While transitioning to a remote-first workforce, leadership knew the culture would change so they gave their employees the opportunity to own that change by allowing them to create the culture they desired. “The approach was not only intentional, but has been met in extremely positive ways,” said Josh Tyler. Now most social groups and activities are organized by employees — not the company. That brand of tight-knit collaboration has proven especially useful while migrating Course Hero’s codebase to microservices or tackling service disruptions that affected much of the Internet. Engineering confidence while rising the ranks It’s vital to continue learning throughout one’s career. Unfamiliarity with new technologies may give way to imposter syndrome, especially as a new hire. Jyoti Shete expressed doubts in her abilities to her manager. This opened up empathetic conversations. “I realized the importance of letting go of performance while in the learning phase,” Shete said. This helped Shete advance in the ranks to senior staff engineer, a role created by leadership for those who prefer to stay on a technical path instead of management. Now she’s developing large-scale, robust systems using complex technologies.
