Pros

They let you work autonomously - they do not micro manage you. There are lots of opportunities for advancement and movement.

Cons

They are executively run very poorly. They are reporting losses every year. The executive management has been in place for over 4 yrs of losses.

Pros

good benefits, good paternity leave policy, Kasier offered as one of the health plans, dental and vision covered, good community outreach programs

Cons

Depending on your business group, they are not as flexible as they claim to be. Some groups have the flexibility to work from home, but others have short sighted senior leadership and don't see the big picture.

Pros

Pearson textbooks and digital products still are top of the line in terms of quality and accuracy; they really do listen to their customers and try their best to serve both instructors and students. Many people still believe in the mission of improving people's lives and opening doors through learning.

Cons

If Pearson keeps cutting corners and decreasing resources, the quality will suffer. I can understand shifting a certain amount of resources away from traditional books to digital and online learning platforms, but the content still has to come from somewhere, and if they simply outsource everything to contractors and continue to cut staff and budgets, there won't be anybody there to care about the content.
