Pearson reviews

No career progression, no management support or backup, Managers would likely blame you for anything wrong, rather than supporting and standing behind their employees. A lot of people who should support you in your function do not really want to do their job. You need to head a lot of this is the way that we have always done it. No innovation or change. No growth opportunities, the company is backwards in terms of advancement and technology.

Too much shuffling and sudden redundancies for the sake of looking 'productive'. Some good people have been left go. Limitations on hiring (insistence on hiring in particular countries for no real reason apart from cheaper wage). A lot of corporate politics. Projects changing from high-ups and causing more work without consultation from the ones its going to affect most (and if they do it never feels like its listened to, especially if a higher up is particularly willful and thinks it should be done anyway) Poor wage increases and dwindling bonuses ( the pot is dictated by higher-ups so you're at their mercy regardless of how well you met or exceeded your goals) Not sure about Omar, I preferred it when Andy Bird was CEO, the company was a lot more promising then. Omar seems to be sculpting Pearson into something it can't be and cutting a lot of corners (aka staff).
