      Vantaggi

      The work life balance is great, benefits are solid, good time off and holidays.

      Svantaggi

      The Company is constantly doing reorgs and layoffs. I was with the company a short time and executive positions were consistently changing. I do think the company has potential, but is very disorganized. Additionally, it feels as though people are treated as disposable and they do not deliver on the culture they preach when during the hiring process. It feels like leaders are very scatterbrained and do not think through decisions. They just make them and do not really appear to care about the consequences. I do think there is truth to the positive reviews and that it can actually be a great place to work. That said, you have no idea if you are signing on to a great and cohesive team or a disorganized and disconnected team.

      Thank you for writing a review. I am happy to hear that you were able to achieve a healthy work-life balance and enjoyed our benefits, including PTO, while you worked here. Regarding reorganizations and layoffs, the education industry is one of constant change, yet our strategy of delivering affordable high-quality materials to students remains the same. We periodically evaluate our approaches, and that sometimes results in difficult decisions about colleagues and teams. That said, these decisions are not taken lightly; we value every employee and the contributions they have made. I wish you the best. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO

      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.
