Pros

Pearson has above average benefits, and many employees work in a low-stress environment. Many of the products developed at Pearson are done with concern for the end user/customer.

Cons

The company is very big, and some business units may not receive the funding necessary to develop industry leading products. Middle and upper management are resistant to bigger changes even though the company continuously undergoes reorganizations.

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.
