Vantaggi

More and more it's difficult to come up with any to list.

Svantaggi

Morale is really, really bad. Some of the other reviews mention bully culture and I would completely agree with that. Managers are not supportive and set you up to fail. The work load is unbelievable (and the salary does not compensate for that) and it has only gotten harder now that there have been more recent lay offs. There is no work/life balance, vacation and time off is not encouraged and while approved often the employee is made to feel bad when requesting it. They have no respect for their employees and treat all of us (below the higher management level) and replaceable clones. It is disheartening to work at a place that claims to be so passionate about "the student" but could not care less about their own employees.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
