Pluspunten

Nice people. Very easy job. I worked about two hours a day and surfed the internet or talked on my cell phone outside and took really long lunches. You can come in late/leave early and if your projects are complete nobody cares.

Minpunten

CEO is very inappropriate in email communications. For example, he used the 'R-word in a Town Hall. Morning after national elections read like DNC newsletters. I'm all for equity and inclusion, but as an apolitical person I don't like the constant bullying with regard to political agendas. The company is underwater and funded by debt. Despite its Left-leaning propaganda it's not inclusive at all. Look at the 10-K filings over the last ten years and know that you're a number that will eventually be laid off. Decent job but don't spend more than a year or two there.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. When it comes to your workload, I strongly encourage you to discuss your goals and focus areas with your manager to ensure you are contributing in a manner that is most beneficial to yourself and the company. To your point on inclusion, creating an inclusive environment where employees feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work is an important element in enabling the strong, high-performance culture that drives our business success. I have been, and will continue to be, very transparent that Cengage Group does not endorse any single political ideology or belief, rather we are focused on fostering a culture where all employees feel invited to engage in respectful dialogue. As an employer, I do feel it is important that we make wellness and mental health a priority, and that employees know above all else they are supported in taking care of themselves and their loved ones. Inclusion, support and transparency are the intent of the communications we craft on these issues. Our goal is to create a strong sense of belonging among our workforce, regardless of any one person’s beliefs, background or opinions. We do this not just because it’s the right thing to do, but we know it is good for our business. I encourage you to reach out to me directly to discuss this topic further. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
