Pros

I've moved up steadily in a variety of positions over the past 10 years and hit goals many times. But what keeps me around are my amazing peers and supportive management. So much of this place feels like family to me. The work to life balance is fantastic as well!

Cons

Not many at all. You get what you put in, in terms of hitting goals. It can be challenging at times but the pay off (literal) and rewards are great! There are many opportunities to add to your base salary through out the year.

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.
