Pros

This was a dynamic part of the Pearson organization, and leadership was solid. People who worked here are awesome - knowledgable, passionate, driven to do the right thing for the students and teachers.

Cons

Business Unit was disbanded at the end of 2012. PDL has been swallowed by the larger corporate entity, and the senior leaders were let go, rather cold-blooded and harshly. The products are now floundering in direction and "fitting in" with the larger Pearson portfolio.

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.
