Pros

The people at Pearson fantastic, they care, they want to do a great job and cross functional team work really collaboratively (most of the time). The pay and benefits are competitive and working hours are respected.

Cons

No real cons but as with many companies, there are frequent cost reduction activities.

Pros

Supportive manager and colleagues. Conducive and much better working environment now that the most toxic, condescending and narcissistic individuals have left. All of us are so much happier now!

Rude and entitled candidates Way too many process We start work too damn early
