Pros

As other reviewers indicate, those in the trenches at Cengage, such as myself for nearly 30 years, are great, and the company's mission is noble. They truly care about the learning community and do make a difference in the lives of learners of all ages.

Cons

Management = Clueless. Constant reorgs. Lack of transparency. The bottom line, Cengage mid-management is not valued, and career development for people transitioning to new roles is practically non-existent in recent years.

Pros

It's an exciting environment when you never know when you or your entire team will be laid off regardless of tenure or performance.

Cons

I sould have left sooner to join a company that provides actual products or services.

Pros

Teammates . Teammates. Teammates. Teammates. Teammates

Cons

After rollout of subscription plan and announcement of merger with MGH the employees are what take the hit. Incentive plans are no longer incentivizing, transparency is now a hypocritical concept and the culture that I loved has become more of a tongue in cheek concept.
