Pros

Great benefits, helping others become educated, the leader in higher education content supply (formerly known as textbook publishing) & homework systems

Cons

The industry is down and going through great changes. All large corporations have lots of communication difficulties and Pearson is no different. The "spirit" of the company is extremely positive and higher management is working through the changes but this does not translate to the day to day employee.

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.
