Team spirit shines, but management lacks knowledge

Pros

My team and coworkers is why I showed up.

Cons

Lack of knowledge from management. Let go any one with a brain to hire sycophants who don't care about anyone but their own paycheck.

Pros

Working with individual contributors to provide world class service and content to customers.

Cons

Gale, owned by Cengage, has now been systematically destroyed by management who know relatively nothing about the market. They hired someone from Microsoft and within 6 months of being hired, completely dismantled a viable business trying to make it an true Ed Tech company. You should have embraced your speciality--It's all about the content!
