Pros
I've been working for National Geographic Learning, a part of Cengage for 19 years. During that time the company has continued to evolve and grow in new and interesting ways. It has a culture that supports ownership, independence, and a chance to make a difference, which has kept me engaged and motivated. We've been allowed to focus on innovation and quality, to look longer term than just this year or next quarter's bottom line. My business unit has a long term management team that leads with a clear vision that is easy to buy into. With a team of people who are equally committed to the same goals, we've built our brand from new-kid-on-the-street to the fastest growing ELT brand in the world. It's exciting to be a part of it.
Cons
We're just a small part of the overall Cengage corporation, sometimes the systems that are created for the overall company aren't a perfect fit for our needs. We figure out workarounds and keep moving.
