Pluspunten

–Access to great content, though all the people that acquired that content and built relationships with the authors and organizations that provide and own it have been let go and replaced by cheaper alternatives. –Most of the people that are left are good, hardworking people, though there are fewer of us every day

Minpunten

It's become a bunch of private equity consultants in a publishing/edtech company trench coat. Leadership is either part of this or too cowardly to stand up to it. No direction, no understanding of what works or what learners need, just a bunch of penny pinchers who don't understand how to create anything and worship at the PE "line must go up 10+% every year" alter. What soul this company once had is good and dead.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for your more than eight years of service at Cengage Group. I do want to respectfully clarify that while Apollo is an investor, the strategic decisions we have made—including changes to our operating model—have been driven by our leadership team with the goal of ensuring long-term sustainability and growth. As a for-profit company, we have a responsibility to evolve in ways that allow us to better serve our customers, remain competitive, and manage costs responsibly. We recognize that these changes have been difficult and have impacted valued colleagues. We also understand the importance of institutional knowledge and the relationships our teams have built with authors and partners. While we do leverage global talent to support our business, we are committed to doing so in a thoughtful manner preserving expertise and continuity for our customers. Your feedback about leadership, communication, and direction is taken seriously. We are committed to learning from these experiences and continuing to improve how we support both our people and our mission. Thank you again for your candor and for the work you’ve done during your time with us. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO

Pluspunten

Supportive coworkers, decent work-life balance, fully remote,

Minpunten

Very disorganized and unstable. There are constant changes to the business including rounds of layoffs every few months. Everyone works in constant fear of losing their jobs which is incredibly damaging to morale and productivity. Not a lot of opportunities for growth and promotion. Incredibly low pay. Budgets constantly slashed and projects canceled left and right. Poor communication from executive management and directors.
