Pros

I love working at Cengage. It's by far my favorite place I've worked at in this capacity. As a former teacher, I still yearn to make a difference in students' lives, and I get to do that here by helping teachers make informed decisions and getting the best possible curriculum into their hands. The culture here is very positive, family time is respected, and coworkers are here to help. Cengage truly cares about your well being through our Wellness Days, which are company-wide days off/breaks. The pay is competitive and benefits have been comparable, if not better with more options, than at other places I've been. I honestly hope I retire from Cengage!

Cons

I have a ton of meetings that I consider important enough for me to be at personally, but it keeps me from doing my day to day work. So in my role, I am always busy, but with a manager who listens to concerns and grows the team as needed, all I need to do is speak up.

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.
