Pros

casual work attire, the K-12 team is awesome

Cons

Too many to list but I'll try. For an ed-tech company their tech sucks. Nothing works right and none of the systems integrate. There are re-orgs every other minute. If you have a few years under your belt with them they'll find a way to manage you out because they don't want anyone around making a decent salary. By the way the purpose of Cengage Unlimited is to get market share and also get rid of their entire sales force, it's just a matter of time.

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.
