      Pros

      The leadership of the company has been jaw-droppingly motivated, visionary, and transparent. They have turned a company haunted by downturns in the market into a trendsetter that is adapting profitably. Along the way they have been committed to employee growth and job satisfaction. I am thrilled with what we are doing for learning. Cengage is a good company with a good purpose!

      Cons

      The education market is highly scrutinized by media and government.

      Thank you for an impressive 20 years of service. I am personally grateful for the leadership from our Executive Team and from leaders like you at every level across the company. Our focus on access and affordability is truly game-changing for everyone in the education ecosystem. However, vision alone is insufficient. We need continued, strong execution to reflect the values that underpin our culture. Together, we are transforming our company and our industry – and most importantly, students’ lives. As our Ethos states: We do more together.

      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.
