      Pros

      I've seen a lot of ups and downs in the organization, and I feel the direction we're heading with the new Senior Management, the shift to concentrate more on digital and a more comprehensive list is the way to go.

      Cons

      If I had to say anything negative, it would be that I wish all senior management (especially some who have been with the Company for some time) would be as genuine, open-minded and fair as the new executive management.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This week in Chicago I met with about 60 senior leaders as part of our Leaders of Change initiative. We talked about business performance, strategy and, very importantly, our culture. I emphasized the importance of transparency, as well as uniting behind our values of focus, collaboration, and speed. We have definitely made progress, but I agree with you – there is a distance to go, and we’re working together to address it. Thanks for being with us on the journey.

      Pros

      Company has some interesting approaches to the market and in the past they seemed value employees. There are some good employees there and there was, in the past, visionary leadership, but the people with the vision and leadership skills left the company a few years ago.

      Cons

      The company actively de-values employees. They had a project they called "Project Horizon" where they told all employees they needed to cut costs, so the company was going to have multiple layoffs over 3-5 years - but nobody was allowed to know when, where, or why - - just one day large swaths of people would be gone. That hung over everyone's heads - for years, and is indicative of how Cengage values employees - it doesn't. Everything is about trying to secure new funding and prepare for an IPO, so they stopped investing significantly in the products about 3 years ago and that's about when they stopped acting like they cared about employee wellness as well.
