      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I’m happy to hear the positive feedback on our office space and agree that our employees truly care about each other as people. Regarding compensation, our HR department closely analyzes the market to provide fair compensation and we strive to offer competitive, equitable compensation programs that recognize and reward strong performance. Employee growth and development is a priority – we’ve expanded our programs over the past year, and continue to invest in this area. Our IT team is committed to continuous improvement and recently conducted its annual survey – each year, these survey results help the team to identify changes they can make to better support our employees and customers. We realize these are ongoing efforts that aren’t perfect, which is why we’re so eager to get feedback from people like yourself so we can continue to improve. I encourage you to reach out to your manager directly so we can work to address your specific concerns. Best, George Moore, CTO

      Pros

      The individuals below the management level are good people, with some good people at management but C-Suite is horrible.

      Cons

      C-Suite hides their plans under corporate speak. Cengage was a family owned private company and they sold and ever since then has had, debt, schemes to shuffle and restructure debt while implementing RIFs after RIFs after RIFs...never ending and amazingly has been in increased this last year. From their actions it's outsource as much as you can of company operations and squeeze value from Intellectual Property. Look how many times they've renamed themselves. They had a CTO join for about a month or two until she realized it was a role with no team, no authority and left. The CEO is amazing at spin, you hear "great, great, great" corporate speak as the reality on the ground is "this failed, that failed..what!? they're gone!...what they moved that department offshore!...what!? that department is now a vendor relationship...oh we're not DEI focused because the wind changed". The trend is contraction not expansion, no ground breaking innovation. My jaded view from college on expensive books has only grew since I see how the sausage is made.
