Pros

It has been awesome working for Cengage. There are so many events that Cengage does for the employee to keep us engaged, especially during long stretches. I have enjoyed the people that I work with, everybody works together in a real group environment. Growth opportunities are endless, there are tons of jobs you can do within Cengage and you can move to many different offices across the world!

Cons

I cannot think of anything

Pros

-Cengage is a large company so lots of people and personalities but in general the folks I have been fortunate to work with over the years have encouraged me, challenged me and made me better. Great people seem to be a common theme. -Be your Own CEO! This has limits but we really have been encouraged to think outside of the box, collaborate, and share our successes and failures with others. -Recent bold moves like Cengage Unlimited have positioned us to have real conversations around student affordability and offer real options to partner with institutions to improve the overall student experience. -MindTap has been a very successful platform and has made student's/faculty's transformation to digital a good overall experience. -Great Benefits and bonus plan and it seems like Cengage has been successful at recruiting good talent from the competition. -Just started my 14th year and all things considered my career at Cengage has been a blessing. -Management team is responsive and very willing to assist if asked but not likely manage you through every task or negotiation.

Cons

-Publishing industry as a whole is not very stable and lots of great people and top talent have lost their positions over the last 5+ years. -Multiple acquisitions, some have made Cengage stronger and some have been distractions.
