Pros of working at Cengage Learning

Great people, positive onboarding experience

Cons of working at Cengage Learning

Low pay, frequent reorgs & layoffs, industry is rapidly changing and company struggles to keep up. Little to no growth opportunities due to layoffs.

Cengage Learning benefits

Decent benefits, paid holidays on par with school systems, 401K w/company match.

What do you like best about Cengage Learning's CEO and the leadership team?

CEO is approachable and accessible

How would you improve Cengage Learning's culture?

Invest in the Talent to actually bring the company up to speed and be competitive in the EdTech space. The culture can't and won't improve until the layoffs end and growth begins. Hire more women in the c-suite.

How did you prepare for the Cengage Learning interview?

Doing research on the company and market conditions at that time.

How does your compensation at Cengage Learning compare to the industry average?

Pay in the industry is consistently below standard, but my pay was low compared to my colleagues. You won't earn a living wage unless you receive a bonus (which is increasingly infrequent).

What's the diversity at Cengage Learning like?

It has improved slightly over the past decade, but still a predominantly male organization.

What brings you the most joy at Cengage Learning?

I loved connecting with instructors and department heads and learning their challenges in order to provide the right solution.
