      Pros

      We have the best educational content and it shows in the fact that we have been constantly gaining market share in the North American Higher Educational market.

      Cons

      Currently going through a horrendous round of layoffs (4,000 people, a tenth of the workforce) to prop up share price. The thing is, that there doesn't seem to be any clear vision of where we are going to, so this is likely to continue every year for the foreseeable future.

      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.
