Pros

With the right leader, Pearson employees get to experience the organizational values of being brave, decent, and innovative. They are driven to be engaged and productive. The talent pool is amazing and can be inspirational.

Cons

Poor local leadership and unfortunately, corporate senior leadership is slow to move to take action to resolve these matters. COOs of groups like Pearson Embanet are struggling to create culture of innovation and inspiration. Rather they focus on political agendas and make biased decisions and let the loyal followers take the brunt of their decisions. Most recent people decisions have been borderline prejudicial and created cultures of defeat. Employees that work hard now live in fear of retribution and looking to leave a once great organization. No one at corporate responds.

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.
