Pros

Since day one, I was warmly welcomed into the company. The opportunities for professional growth and career advancement seem plentiful. I left a competing company because the culture turned for the worst. The culture here is amazing. There is a ton of transparency and communication from our leadership team.

Cons

We have recently emerged from bankruptcy and I think some people are still feeling a little skittish about it.

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.
