Pros

Let people do their own work. So very relax.

Cons

Certain people got hired as Software engineer director, but he does not have background in any kind of software development and not even have degree or background in computer science. These kind of people drive the company down.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. At Cengage Group, we value all education pathways and have evolved our hiring practices to focus on skills and experience rather than requiring degrees for certain roles. This approach allows us to create a more diverse talent pool, which brings a variety of perspectives and fosters innovation and collaboration. We strive to ensure that all our employees have the necessary qualifications and expertise to contribute effectively to their respective roles. Thank you for your more than eight years of service. I wish the best in your next endeavor. Best, Darren Person, CDO

Pros

The people are great and I really enjoy what I do getting to help others on their educational journey

Cons

The company has made a lot of recent organizational changes in the name of efficiency, but really comes down to money. It makes it difficult to do good work
