      Pros

      There are some great people at Cengage and the open work environment is collaborative and fast paced. Management is trying to offer transparency to their goals and vision with frequent meetings and regular phone Q/As.

      Cons

      Very "be in the office" centric when the technology is in place to still actively collaborate remotely and be productive.

      Immediate coworkers are great, upper management is self-serving and uncaring.

      Pros

      New space in San Francisco is modern and promotes collaboration. For the most part, immediate coworkers and supervisors are excellent people who work with.

      Cons

      CL is going through serious growing pains. Upper management is trying to shift the company, but are thinking so loftily ("innovation!" "new ideas!") that they have no clue how that translates to the day-to-day. They pass down edicts but no concrete resolutions. People are leaving by the bucket-load. They are back-filling positions slowly, but it means that a significant percentage of the workforce is new and onboarding. The workload has not diminished, so it is falling to the people who are left. It is also increasingly unclear who to talk to because a lot of knowledge is just gone and workflows are unclear.
