      Pros

      The relationships within departments are good, and managers look out for their own. Vacation time is reasonable and benefits are comparable with other companies in the industry. Long range company plans seem innovative and interesting.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the money doesn't,t seem to be forthcoming to fund the innovative plans. Also, the Physical environment is miserable and employees are asked to do more and more work as headcount shrinks and management refuses to hire to replace people. Management positions are opened up much more often than those for people who do the day to day work.

      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.
