Pros

Cengage just keeps getting better and better, gaining momentum every day, and striving to truly be the best and do the best they can for its customers and employees. I've been employed with Cengage several different times since 1999, and I can say that the current leadership, culture, and focus that we have at Cengage right now is the best yet. We live our Credo and Ethos from top to bottom. From my perspective, that has catapulted this company from a customer-focused company to a well-rounded company that focuses not only on the customer's needs, but also its employee's needs. Employees are offered wonderful benefits, competitive pay, and lots of paid time off. It’s so refreshing working for a company that truly cares. Leadership is willing to not only listen to feedback from employees, but willing to take the steps necessary to see suggestions from concept to completion. There are so many other things I love as well, but one in particular is all of the free development courses we can take to further our careers within Cengage.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons to share at this time.

Pros

As a long term employee I have been grateful for opportunities to grow in my career, with the benefit of working for a company I believe in. With the broad array of roles within the company I've been able to move both up and laterally as my interests and skillset has grow. The company culture is supportive, with flexibility and an emphasis on a balance of work and life. The Employee Resource Groups are well supported and offer different avenues to make connections across Cengage.

Cons

Being a large company it can be difficult to be as nimble as I would like, especially around AI. But I understand this also demonstrated a commitment to our authors, content providers, and customers.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your more than 10 years of service. It's great to hear that you have had opportunities to grow in your career and expand your skillset. I am also happy to hear that you feel supported and more well connected as a member of our many Employee Resource Groups. Regarding AI, I can completely understand the sentiment, as I also have found myself fighting the urge to jump into the deep end with AI. As an organization though, I’m confident in the approach we’ve taken to this new technology, which is one of excitement balanced with caution. We want to do it right, and make sure we are introducing solutions that can make a true impact for our customers, and uphold our standards of developing quality, engaging solutions that also take into consideration privacy and security. I am proud of the progress we have made, and appreciate your feedback as we continue to evolve. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO
