Pros

Lots of great people still here despite the layoffs, who believe in delivering great products. Decent pay.

Cons

Never-ending cycles of ruthless layoffs and reorgs, appalling communication from the Exec, chaotic system changes, contempt for employees, zero strategy for non-Cengage brands & business units.
