      Pros

      Cengage Learning is not what it used to be, but that is a good thing! This 100+ year old textbook company is finally becoming a technology company after years of giving the notion lip service. Cengage is working hard to remain relevant in the ever changing textbook publishing industry. The jury is out, but I hope they can make a successful transition .

      Cons

      Cengage is not what it used to be, but that is a bad thing! More and more key roles are moving out of the Mason to either the east or west coast. It feels like the Mason office is slowly being dismantled and probably won't be around in a few years.

      Pros

      Company has some interesting approaches to the market and in the past they seemed value employees. There are some good employees there and there was, in the past, visionary leadership, but the people with the vision and leadership skills left the company a few years ago.

      Cons

      The company actively de-values employees. They had a project they called "Project Horizon" where they told all employees they needed to cut costs, so the company was going to have multiple layoffs over 3-5 years - but nobody was allowed to know when, where, or why - - just one day large swaths of people would be gone. That hung over everyone's heads - for years, and is indicative of how Cengage values employees - it doesn't. Everything is about trying to secure new funding and prepare for an IPO, so they stopped investing significantly in the products about 3 years ago and that's about when they stopped acting like they cared about employee wellness as well.
