Pros

Great people, Excellent HR Department, good building, good benefits

Cons

Morale has declined as a company over the years, largely due to layoffs. Management higher up could use some help, though I hear that's in the works. Was also underpaid

Pros

Not at this time. I think this board will grow now that severance has been revoked.

Cons

Due to another reorg my position was eliminated. I was given severance pay through July but that ended today when Cengage filed bankruptcy and no longer will honor employee severance agreements. Mike Hansen and Mr. Stone are finally showing how little they value employees.
