Pros

Good people, opportunity to provide education products for learners Work from home Global contacts and colleagues provide insight into how we can do education better in the US

Cons

Clueless Management Constant chaos--you can go for 6 months without knowing who you report to Upper management does not want to hear anything new The millenials are starting to make the decisions--smart but not wise, cliques, without guidance Behind the market in producing new products that will affect sales long term Performing your job is complex just because Pearson is so big Awful open office concept has resulted in many people working from home

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
