      Pros

      On a personal level: The people make this place, I have flexibility to work from home and at odd hours. The company: We are starting to feel empowered to make real change, and there is a real sense of purpose and direction coming from the top. I feel a real passion in making better and more effective tools for learning and teaching.

      Cons

      The flexibility I have earned as I travel but it is clear that not everyone has it. We are made to feel empowered but there are still lots of old hoops to jump through to get stuff signed off. Our healthcare is very expensive and you cant get anything better than a 90/10 plan - don't get me started on the maternity plan as I think that is a joke (unless you live in CA or work in one of the European offices)

      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.
