      Pros

      Good product and good employees (ground level). Great potential.

      Cons

      Management suffers from a serious lack of vision, and despite paying lip service to helping students they seem to care very little for their customers. Over the past year their lack of appreciation and concern for their employees has become evident. Sales are plummeting along with morale. The company is hemorrhaging skilled and talented workers. After spending over a year preparing for a merger that many felt would never happen, they don't seem to have a backup plan prepared.

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
