Pros

The culture encourages individual teams to be creative and build/use talents to succeed. Well executed hiring is the first step in making this work.

Cons

Overall company aignment is missing. While each team and portion of the business works well, but much could be accomplished if resources and knowledge was shared amongst the different teams and businesses, no one is recreating the wheel.

New execs not good

Pros

My team members were lovely to work with. Benefits were decent.

Cons

Cengage Works lead (newer hire) is all ego. Plays both sides but ultimately does what’s best for him. Treats other execs well but not those below his level.
