      Pros

      * Lots of autonomy in my current role. I have the trust of my team members to contribute ideas, make decisions, and ask questions. * Remote work. * Skills and career development opportunities. I have been afforded plenty of opportunities to learn new things, get involved in projects that contribute to my overall career goals, and moved roles internally to get a promotion. * Incredibly smart and thoughtful co-workers. * Work life balance.

      Cons

      * Pay is below market. * Always feels like there is some sort of job insecurity. * No bonus for my role or COLA. Even as a high performer, I didn't earn more due to inflation.

      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.
