Pros

Some of the smartest people I've ever worked with here at Gale, a part of Cengage Learning. Most are friendly and helpful. Management is very approachable and will make time to actually sit and talk with you. Technology development has transitioned to Agile, which has helped in getting new projects up and running.

Cons

The technology development group seems locked in on using, and re-using, older technology. Instead of fixing bad code, they are content to buy more, bigger, faster hardware in the hopes of keeping performance at the user end acceptable. Pay is a little on the low side and annual raises are 2% and less.

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.
