      Pros

      Good pay, good benefits...at least before the bankruptcy.

      Cons

      The operation is being run by mangers with few years experience as managers and no experience running operations in some markets. Some of the Sales Directors take great pride in "managing- up" to their bosses instead of finding ways to win new business for people in the field. Constant lay-offs over the last year has stripped the company of most people who were successful and knew how to get things done. No real technology product development and the product that they do have is not ready for wide distribution.

      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.
