      Pros

      The people who work at Cengage are the best part of the job. The company itself seems interested in promoting competent individuals who will push the bottom line. There's a decent balance between work and personal life.

      Cons

      Morale and motivation are at an all-time low. Most individuals seem confused by the "big picture" and even though Senior Management likes to think they're keeping the employees in the loop, they really just seem to ostracize them. Products are rushed to the market and customer focus isn't always a top priority.

      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.
