Pros

Upper and middle management listens to you. Hours/work-life balance was good. Training was good

Cons

Upward mobility seemed a little limited. Tech issues with products sometimes caused job to be a lot harder than it needed to be, but the people in the company made working there a pleasure.

Thank you for writing a review about your experience. It’s great to hear the positive remarks about your colleagues, managers, job training and flexible work schedule. I believe our culture is what differentiates Cengage Group, and I am happy to hear it has left a positive impression on you. Regarding opportunities for advancement, this is an area that we have invested in significantly over the past several years. I encourage all employees to have a conversation with their manager about the learning and development resources available to them and take an active role in their learning and development in order to take the next step in their career. Thank you for your more than 3 years of service. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO

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.
