Pros

Loved working with the team I worked with, called TeamUP. We were the educational and professional arm of the company. We worked from home, created customized trainings to empower educators, then traveled to the colleges and universities for which we created those trainings to deliver them. Lots of entrepreneurial freedom while working on a generous salary. The company matched employees dollar for dollar in 401K, we turned out to be break to go along with the severance package after reorg.

Cons

They were forced to adapt with the rapidly changing digital landscape and had to layoff thousands of employees during reorganizations. The team I worked for was restructured completely, which didn’t resemble what I was hired for, so when the option to accept another position OR severance was posed, I opted for the generous severance package. Great job while it lasted (I was there just over 5 yrs).

Thank you for this feedback and more importantly, for the five years that you helped Cengage put the needs of learners and educators first. Cengage is best in class when it comes to creating educational content; it is great to hear that your experience training educators with our content was such a rewarding experience. We have been actively transforming Cengage during the past several years – from a traditional publisher of text books to an agile, flexible education company that creates best in class content delivered via robust digital platforms. We are actively transforming our organization, to align with the transformation of our business. I wish you the best of luck in your next endeavor and glad to hear that your experience with Cengage was so rewarding. Best, Michael
