Vantaggi

NONE WHATSOEVER THIS PLACE SUCKS. They done care about regular staff only the IPO to make executives rich while layoffs are a regular occurrence

Svantaggi

Massive Layoffs - all the good people have left or been shown the door. Executives have their heads in their butts when it comes to employee satisfaction. The only thing they care about is making the bottom line look good so they can get their IPO and get their massive bonuses. Meanwhile the grunt workers who are left are hit with benefit cost increases and no real raised in years. My former manager's sole concern was protecting his Teflon behind and threw anyone he needed to under the bus to preserve his butt. Not once in my tenure did I ever feel he had my back. I WAS LET GO SO HE COULD BLAME ME FOR HIS LACK OF INTEGRITY IN TAKING BLAME FOR HIS DECISIONS.The facilities and home office technologies are outdated especially the video rooms- except when the CFO wanted his own video room suddenly their was money for him. There are way too many upper level execs especially in Finance.I

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.
