Pros

The people at Pearson are pretty bright, good work / life balance, value volunteering, decent compensation, big company, decent benefits

Cons

big company, still a sense of 'old school' publisher mentality among a large population of the employees, can be difficult to move up or significantly change roles

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.
