Business Outlook

Pros

Good health benefits (including dental, vision), laid-back atmosphere (casual), flexible schedule, overall nice people, monthly online development courses, volunteering opportunities...

Cons

People with one year contracts are expected to work over time up to a ridiculous point, including weekends and nights, as if they had a stake in the company. A major issue is the unrealistic deadlines. Top management assigns unachievable assignments to temporary employees without training them, but employees are expected to devote their life to the project. When the project does not get done, the editors take are blamed, but the big picture is the the company lacks staff. When the morale is low and people's contracts are almost over, some employees stop working altogether. Management has not figured out how to deal effectively with this problem.

I absolutely love Pearson. You won't get rich, but then, you should already know that if you want to work in publishing.

Pros

Almost all the people are good, smart, caring people. Every manager I've worked for genuinely cares about me and my professional development. Also has loads of benefits: 401(k), tuition reimbursement, scholarships for your kids, discounts on phone plans and auto purchases, and more that I can't remember.

Cons

The salary is not ideal for the cost of living in San Francisco and is generally very low for a white-collar, college-educated industry.
