Pros

Upper and middle management listens to you. Hours/work-life balance was good. Training was good

Cons

Upward mobility seemed a little limited. Tech issues with products sometimes caused job to be a lot harder than it needed to be, but the people in the company made working there a pleasure.

Thank you for writing a review about your experience. It’s great to hear the positive remarks about your colleagues, managers, job training and flexible work schedule. I believe our culture is what differentiates Cengage Group, and I am happy to hear it has left a positive impression on you. Regarding opportunities for advancement, this is an area that we have invested in significantly over the past several years. I encourage all employees to have a conversation with their manager about the learning and development resources available to them and take an active role in their learning and development in order to take the next step in their career. Thank you for your more than 3 years of service. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO

Good place to work but you may get stuck

Pros

Good place to work, good colleagues, flexible work arrangements, good culture

Cons

You may get stuck at a career dead end after a while, especially if you're not based in the US. You'll have to start hunting for other opportunities either within the company or outside. No matter their messaging, they probably won't do much to create new opportunities for you along your current track.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am happy to hear the positive remarks about your colleagues, our company culture and flexible work model. I am sorry to hear that you feel ‘stuck’ in your career. We truly value our employees and are continuing to make advancements to ensure people have access to numerous learning and development opportunities, including our own ed2go and cybersecurity courses. We also launched mobility and talent marketing programming, including “Talent LIVE!”, a monthly global panel featuring Cengage employees providing guidance for internal applicants preparing to advance into in-demand roles as well as general career management guidance, and creating a networking program for hiring managers and employees to connect. While I am proud of these strides, we recognize there is still work to be done. I encourage you to talk to your manager or someone from our Employee Services team about career development opportunities. Thank you for your feedback. Best, Jeri Herman, Chief People Officer
