Pros

Great colleagues, hard working employees, superior authors and content.

Cons

Three major reorganizations in the sales organization and constant changes impacting marketing and editorial all in one year. Given the complexity of the products and services in comparison to competitor's offerings, quality was declining at rapid pace. Add in a bankruptcy filing and the vote of confidence with employees and customers takes another hit.

Pros

Was a great company but the industry to changing and Cengage has not be able to keep up. There were a lot of great people that worked there and the culture was great. I had the opportunity to interact with people throughout the organization.

Cons

Inability to make necessary investments to compete. Reorganization after reorganization. Jobs are being eliminated and people are asked to do too much. Customers losing faith in the organization and their ability to deliver quality products as well as support what they are selling.
