Pros

I'd consider myself midway through my career and I can easily say with 100% certainty that this is the best company I've ever worked for. The list of pros is long but a few things that make it the best include the hard-working, engaged, committed and collaborate people that I get to work with every day. I feel that my day to day work is interesting, meaningful and impactful. Cengage is an exciting place to be - we're growing and the work we do is innovate and life changing.

Cons

There is a lot of change but I understand that this is necessary to stay relevant and growing.

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.
