      Pros

      Cengage offers a ton of resources whether that be through continuing education for employees or just the amount of divisions and help you can get across the company.

      Cons

      Pay was low and benefits weren’t great. I felt I outgrew my role quickly and was unable to move up which led me to find opportunities elsewhere. They froze the cost of living increase during Covid which also wasn’t great.

I appreciate your positive remarks about the range of continuing education opportunities and support we provide to employees. At Cengage Group, we strive to ‘Put Learning First’, it is a core pillar of our ethos, and we believe in its ability to propel people forward. Regarding compensation, our HR team continuously reviews our complete total rewards offering to ensure they remain competitive and align with market standards. While COVID was a period where we made some difficult budget decisions, our merit increase budget has remained market competitive since 2022. I am sorry to hear that you felt limited in your role here.

      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.
