Pros

Worked with and for some great people. Good time off and benefits. Flex time.

Cons

After 2009, things deteriorated quickly. No leadership, inept middle managers were put in charge. They hadn't done a good job managing at the level they had been at, much less to run the company after all of the C-Levels were let go in a day. Inevitable spiral. HR staff ineffective and bitter. Don't ever go to them with a real problem. Certainly not if it's about your manager. Their solution is to immediately run to the manager that is the problem in the first place and tell them.

Pros

New senior leadership is on a mission to re-engage and rebuild employees and this business. Refreshing and inspiring.

Cons

Lots of change - some of it painful - to get Cengage back on course. If you can't stand ambiguity or change - this place is not for you.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Competitive salary. Awesome team / collaborative / agile environment. Overall, this is a great place to work. I enjoy coming in almost every day, and I find the work interesting and challenging. I have learned more in my time at this job than in any other two jobs I can think of.

Cons

None that I can think of. It's a great place to work.
