Vantaggi

There's a lot going well in the environment here: Managers are focused on personal and professional growth, the coworkers are nice and generally happy to be doing their job, and there's great flexibility for hours. The job itself is a good mix of creativity and seeing new I do feel pretty connected to the CEO, who runs a weekly meeting and openly answers questions (even anon ones) from employees.

Svantaggi

I wish the pay was higher (<50k for my science PhD and some programming skills, yeesh), and some extra PTO would be nice. Training could've been more comprehensive and smoother, but they've improved it since I came in.

Thank you for leaving a review. It is great to hear that your managers are focused on your personal and professional development. I am also happy to hear that you find your work flexible and that our First Friday conversations help you feel connected to me and the company. I appreciate your feedback regarding onboarding and training and it’s encouraging to hear that you feel it has improved since you started working here. In terms of compensation, our HR teams closely monitor the market to ensure we are staying competitive in the education industry and that we are providing employees with a fair total compensation package. Regarding disconnect while working on projects, I encourage you to have a conversation with your manager about improving existing modes and frequency of communication. Best, Jim Chilton, CTO

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.
