Pros

If they can figure out how to make a digital product work versus the old print product then they are geared to take a large market share. "IF" is the key word here.

Cons

Pearson lists their core values as "brave, imaginative and decent." In their search over the past couple of years to find a new product model they fired too many brave and imaginative people to call themselves decent.

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.
