Pros

Work life balance is good. But company cannot maintain the standards.

Cons

Poor Management and Very week talent acquisition strategy, So many good people left within few months! Don't know what happened to my company after re-joining after my internship. I had a promotion with the same salary without any increment and they have so many excuses to keep the salaries below the industry standards. No room for a change. Still no opportunity to grow technically. I think I took the worst decision to work at Pearson after my internship. Company provided a fake salary increment even after dollar rate increased.

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.
