Pros

Big company, good reputation in the industry

Cons

the singapore branch is infiltrated by ccp group. They hire only mainland Chinese and use their networks to get business in china. If you are non mainland, you will be driven out soon by their games. Ccp member took on sg citizenship, manager is overseas, emperor is far away. No management ability, bringing their nonsense mainland micromanagement to sg, no MBA or formal management training even. CEO in the usa pls do some firing to drain the swamp. Hire management trained people to manage!

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.
