Pearson no longer what it once was

Senior editor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a large corporation that had considerable assets before they sold a number of them off. They have nice offices in a number of different locations. They offer a bonus plan.

Cons

It is a large corporation, no idea what talents and skills you have, no appreciation for hard work, leadership, and development efforts, headed in the wrong direction shifting to education services from publishing. They are outsourcing all the traditional publishing roles.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great structure and support for working from home; exceptional quality of materials; smart, talented people; and well-established processes

Cons

Work did get monotonous over time; restructuring has caused a lot of uncertainty and job insecurity; changed a lot of their full-time positions to being only contract/freelance; eliminated entire high-functioning teams during reorg with no evaluation of individual performance

It's almost criminal...

Senior editor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people at the company truly care about education.

Cons

Executive management at Pearson is atrocious, with little attention payed to the ideas, expertise, and solutions put forth by employees. The company routinely puts out products with defective pedagogy in an effort to make a quick profit. Pearson continually seeks to "repurpose" old material in a "new" way in order to cut costs and make a quick buck. This renders their output obsolete, inferior, and carelessly designed in every conceivable way.
