Vantaggi

My immediate and same-level colleagues are great. We trust each other and realize we're all in this together at the moment.

Svantaggi

Senior Management either has no idea what they're doing, doesn't have the right information, or doesn't take the time to listen to their people. The health insurance is the worst I've seen in the industry. It's difficult to find a reason for working when those who sweet talk the right people, but don't actually get anything done are praised, while those who honestly and earnestly work hard and long aren't recognized or appreciated, but instead blocked from completing work. There are few actual processes to follow in Product Management. You have to figure it out or reinvent the wheel almost every time you try to get something done.

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.
