Vantaggi

The employees and culture is fun, laid-back, and modern. The benefits and compensation is livable - though nothing to strive for. All in all, it's comfortable. There's no huge reason to stay for an extended period of time, but there hasn't yet been a convincing enough reason to go.

Svantaggi

Raises are based on company performance, not individual effort... so there's very little motivation to really excel. You can do the bare minimum, and you'll still be "rewarded" as abysmally as the next person. With that, raises are insulting. They claim there's a ton of room for advancement, but the only thing that advances are the amount of responsibility you're expected to take on. There's no promotion. There's no title change. "Advancement" is doing more for the same compensation.

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.
