Pros

Cengage just keeps getting better and better, gaining momentum every day, and striving to truly be the best and do the best they can for its customers and employees. I've been employed with Cengage several different times since 1999, and I can say that the current leadership, culture, and focus that we have at Cengage right now is the best yet. We live our Credo and Ethos from top to bottom. From my perspective, that has catapulted this company from a customer-focused company to a well-rounded company that focuses not only on the customer's needs, but also its employee's needs. Employees are offered wonderful benefits, competitive pay, and lots of paid time off. It’s so refreshing working for a company that truly cares. Leadership is willing to not only listen to feedback from employees, but willing to take the steps necessary to see suggestions from concept to completion. There are so many other things I love as well, but one in particular is all of the free development courses we can take to further our careers within Cengage.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons to share at this time.

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.
