Pros

Cengage is a great company, all led by a great CEO who has a good pulse on the industry. Depending on the location you'll find pockets of excellence where engineers are empowered to make decisions and produce great outcomes.

Cons

There are several layers of bureaucracy that needs to be navigated for simple changes. Albeit, this is common among organizations of this size, it does become apparent when you need several layers of approval to try a new tool or incorporate a new framework.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. Part of our culture in technology is to empower our employees to challenge thinking and make decisions, and I’m glad to hear that you experienced that. We believe that, to drive change, we must think and work differently, challenge the status quo, speak candidly, and innovate. Regarding compensation, our HR department closely analyzes the market to provide fair compensation and we strive to offer competitive, equitable programs that recognize and reward strong performance. We realize that we always have room for improvement, and have continued investing in aligning compensation, and in employee growth and development, over the past year. There may be layers involved in making some decisions (depending on those decisions) but we always welcome new thinking and ideas. Thank you for your more than 5 years of service, I wish you the best in your next endeavor. Kermit Cook, COO and interim executive leadership for Technology
