Pros

the actual work is enjoyable coworkers work at home option

Cons

This company has a troubling pattern of ongoing layoffs. Leadership often announces that the cuts are over, only to initiate another round the following month. Or they say that layoffs are over and then immediately hire a new company to cut costs. While many roles have been shifted to India, a significant amount of the work remains in the U.S., largely because there's hesitation to rely on less experienced offshore teams. It's hard to understand Cengage's purpose beyond serving as a revenue engine for private equity interests. The constant instability raises serious questions about its long-term vision and integrity.
