Coworkers are supportive and there is genuine room for growth. Pay is competitive but scheduling changes often, which makes work-life balance harder to maintain.

  • Room for growth
  • Competitive pay

  • Frequent schedule changes

Ethical ABA approach, but supervision is stretched thin

work BCBA public via Glassdoor

Cortica uses a play-based, naturalistic ABA model that feels ethical and progressive, and partners with schools for more hours. Supervisors are overloaded, though, making it hard to schedule check-ins outside session time.

thumb_up Pros
  • Ethical, play-based ABA approach
  • School partnerships add hours
thumb_down Cons
  • Supervisors overloaded
  • Hard to schedule check-ins

Inconsistent protocols and supervision hours

thumb_up Pros
  • Good hands-on client experience
thumb_down Cons
  • Inconsistent protocols/expectations
  • Hard to secure required supervision hours

Disorganized despite good vision

Cortica has a great vision and attracts strong employees, but execution is disorganized. Management can be both overly controlling and unsupportive at the same time; salary and benefits costs are below expectations.

thumb_up Pros
  • Strong overall mission/vision
thumb_down Cons
  • Disorganized execution
  • Management inconsistency
  • Salary/benefits below industry standard
