      No Wonder It’s Failing

      Pros

      The coffee was good and it was close to some ok restaurants.

      Cons

      You name it, it’s bad. Leadership cannot stay on track, layoffs are commonplace (they shut down the whole San Francisco office), their business model is broken, the consider themselves a tech company but are woefully behind the times and slow to adapt/evolve, the pay is miserable. I could go on and on, but really why bother? This company is destined to fail.

      Pros

      Cengage has a strong focus on organization and employee morale. Leadership works hard to ensure that folks who work here are happy, heard, taken care of, recognized, encouraged, and given opportunities for growth. Cengage promotes collaboration, teamwork, exploration, and constant change and improvement. The people here are friendly and happy to help each other. The company is organized and highly focused on developing processes, systems, standard tools, and avid documentation. There are plenty of chances to connect with and learn from colleagues outside your specific group. The office is also beautiful. Lastly, the onboarding process was far beyond what I have experienced at top competitors.

      Cons

      Training courses were fantastic and well-put together, but they were sometimes outdated or too high level and not specific enough to the nuances of my particular role. If coming from another industry (or another role within the same industry), the learning curve can be steep. It's very high-tech here and you have to be extremely proactive about asking good questions and learning quickly. You have to be able to problem solve and deal with some level of ambiguity. The location of the new office can be a tough commute for certain people. Finally, it is a very spreadsheet heavy workplace, which people may or may not find appealing.

      Thanks for posting your experience to Glassdoor. I particularly appreciate your comments on the onboarding process as that is something we have prioritized and continue to invest in. You have some good ideas on possible improvements – I will make sure they get to the right team, but please also consider bringing them directly to your HR Business Partner.
