Senior Development Editor at Cengage Learning

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Boston, MA Dec 2010 – Reviewed Mar 3, 2011

Interview Details – I interview with 4 people two months after applying online. Interview lasted 4hrs. Was asked to provide sample edit; then asked to complete second phase of online app. Kept in good contact with one woman. Process was drawn out; was misled about position. Ask HR about payscale for your position.

Interview Question – Unexpected question: Is the commute going to be too far?   View Answer

Reason for Declining – Got offer almost 8 weeks after interview. Offer was for a lower position and salary. I was offended for being mislead. It would have been professional of the company to let me know that the open position had changed so I wouldn't waste my time on a position that did not interested me. I'm lucky to have a job, so I didn't have to settle for less.

Senior Media Editor at Cengage Learning

No Offer – Interviewed in Belmont, CA Aug 2009 – Reviewed Dec 7, 2009

Interview Details – Got this interview through an referral of someone I met. Talked via phone and in-person with about 7-8 people. Most of the interviewers asked general questions and some were not prepared. Most of it seemed like a "does she fit" interview. Was not offered the job, I suspect because of my salary requirements. Salaries in the publishing industry are low.

General sense is that Cengage is trying to change, become more media savvy, but has a lot of baggage.
