Pros
Strong company with plenty of resources Good employees who know and understand publishing Some nice facilities in the Harlow branch (café, gym, library) not amazing, but there.
Cons
Too many cooks. Decision making is very hard as there are too many people involved in the process. Some members of management are just ingrained and there because they haven't left rather than due to merit. There's a Pearson way of doing things which you need to learn should you come from another publisher. It takes a while. There's a nasty uncurrent of office politics and plenty of things done behind closed doors.
