Pros

It was at one time--before John Fallon became CEO--a wonderful place to work with rewarding work creating high quality educational books and other content, with intelligent and creative colleagues while turning a nice profit.

Cons

The company has lost its vision, claiming to be a media company with no tangible plans to make that happen. Eliminating staff, reorganizing in a sloppy way, and rebranding does not contribute to a better product or make Pearson a media company.

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.
