I’m sorry to hear that you feel this way. Our current recruiting team is excited to be bringing in great people. We’re also making significant investments in Talent, including the creation of a new team in HR dedicated to driving these initiatives. I sincerely hope you have found a better fit elsewhere.

Pros

This could be misconceived as a con, but living through the unstable, volatile and fast-moving marketing environment prepared me to handle anything, so I will always thank Cengage for that. I've taken the project management tenants/agency model learnings and have used it to carve out my niche in my new company.

Cons

The dev/tech side is emerging from a very dark period. It will be interesting to see how that ebbs throughout the company. Marketing leadership needs to get their heads on straight and take a good, long look at why they are losing people (and people with tenure). Kudos to the managers that acknowledge a departure and thank them for their contributions publicly as opposed to the all so common "un-personing".
