      Pros

      Colleagues are passionate about the work and the mission. People are warm, encouraging, collaborative and genuine. The work itself is innovative and collaborative. People are opened to new ideas.

      Cons

      There is a lack of alignment among teams. Sales is incentivized to give the customer what they ask for. Engineering just wants to get it done. It's a challenging environment for user experience.

      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.
