Cengage reviews

- The old boys network leads to bad management decisions and sexism - A lot of work is done because of who is friends, not the business value of the work. In particular, the SOA project has wasted a lot of time and caused many of the highest performing people to quit in frustration. Though it continues to be behind schedule and disorganized, its leader is rewarded. - Business units compete for revenue and the same tech resources, leading to competition and politics instead of collaboration - Raises are laughably small and based on company performance instead of individual performance

Senior Management either has no idea what they're doing, doesn't have the right information, or doesn't take the time to listen to their people. The health insurance is the worst I've seen in the industry. It's difficult to find a reason for working when those who sweet talk the right people, but don't actually get anything done are praised, while those who honestly and earnestly work hard and long aren't recognized or appreciated, but instead blocked from completing work. There are few actual processes to follow in Product Management. You have to figure it out or reinvent the wheel almost every time you try to get something done.
