Pros

Lots of great people still here despite the layoffs, who believe in delivering great products. Decent pay.

Cons

Never-ending cycles of ruthless layoffs and reorgs, appalling communication from the Exec, chaotic system changes, contempt for employees, zero strategy for non-Cengage brands & business units.

Pros

Coworkers Culture Health and Dental care are decent Remote work Flexibility Great benefits (Parental Leave, PTO, etc)

Cons

Company has gone through multiple waves of change (lay offs and re-orgs). Some decisions aren't clear as to why those changes were necessary. More often than not. It is uneasy to work in an environment like that
