Pearson reviews

There is a really strong sense of individualism at Pearson, if the management like you and you tow the line you can go far, if you challenge then you quickly become persona-non-grata at Pearson. At both a local and global level it is disjointed, too many people doing the same thing globally but not sharing or speaking to one another or sharing expertise enough. And, too many cultures vying for attention, its a business of many parts, and for some reason it fails to create a cohesive brand and allows leaders of each business to perhaps drive their own agenda rather than the company one.

Soooo much deadweight. Very unprofessional environment. Incompetence—rather than being weeded out—is rewarded with new titles or promotions in order to shelter shortcomings. Information is slow to be shared, and is tightly guarded to the point that work suffers. It is common that personal lives are put to the wayside in order to catch up with work that could have been done—on time and on budget—had SOMEONE been manager enough to make a decision rather than try to guess the desires of senior management. Frightening that it's an education company.
