Pros

Nice Salary and nothing else.

Cons

People with 3-4 years of experience in publishing becomes AGM. A production editor becomes Publishing Manager and doing Acquisitions. Favoritism and bootlicking are prevalent here. People with no market knowledge are made managers in the editorial department. No proper emphasis on the development of the book. Just publishing a high number of titles is the goal. Worst company to work for in terms of learning.

Pros

Cengage Learning is not what it used to be, but that is a good thing! This 100+ year old textbook company is finally becoming a technology company after years of giving the notion lip service. Cengage is working hard to remain relevant in the ever changing textbook publishing industry. The jury is out, but I hope they can make a successful transition .

Cons

Cengage is not what it used to be, but that is a bad thing! More and more key roles are moving out of the Mason to either the east or west coast. It feels like the Mason office is slowly being dismantled and probably won't be around in a few years.
