Pros

This company has a way of making you feel important and valued, regardless of your level. The culture is positive and forward-thinking. The workload is balanced most of the time. Your manager does depend on some of this, as is the case with many jobs, but my experience has been stellar from a management perspective. I think the turn the company is taking with CU is bold but genius. I really think they are keeping the best interest of the student at heart, which serves as a guiding light, and ultimately this is why it will be a huge success!

Cons

I was not happy with the way the company dealt with the last reorg in regards to how they treated employees and how they decided where to divide up the remaining business. Being torn from your work then plopped in a new territory with seemingly very little business justification is never a great idea. However, since then, I feel like they took that feedback from employees and strive to improve.

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.
