Pros

The company has amazing product and marketing team members, great sales resources, fantastic customer service to help gain and keep business, ongoing employee training available, team support and I could go on and on. The company has adapted to change and is making an effort to change the education technology landscape. I have felt supported and valued during my 4 years at Cengage. They are improving their transparency and making an effort to make sure employees are in the know about these changing times in Higher Education. Being field based is also the biggest perk. Being able to create my own schedule and have a flexible work environment is perfect for my work style and family dynamic. You have to be motivated and ambitious in this kind of role to be successful, but it is well worth it!

Cons

There is some inconsistency between product and platform resources and services, but that is business (some sell better than others). There have been a LOT of changes in the last four years; Some of them great and others not so much.

Pros

The individuals below the management level are good people, with some good people at management but C-Suite is horrible.

Cons

C-Suite hides their plans under corporate speak. Cengage was a family owned private company and they sold and ever since then has had, debt, schemes to shuffle and restructure debt while implementing RIFs after RIFs after RIFs...never ending and amazingly has been in increased this last year. From their actions it's outsource as much as you can of company operations and squeeze value from Intellectual Property. Look how many times they've renamed themselves. They had a CTO join for about a month or two until she realized it was a role with no team, no authority and left. The CEO is amazing at spin, you hear "great, great, great" corporate speak as the reality on the ground is "this failed, that failed..what!? they're gone!...what they moved that department offshore!...what!? that department is now a vendor relationship...oh we're not DEI focused because the wind changed". The trend is contraction not expansion, no ground breaking innovation. My jaded view from college on expensive books has only grew since I see how the sausage is made.
