Pearson reviews

It's a very short seasonal job. Many of the assignments end earlier than management claims. Pay varies depending on the assignment.

-- Senior management is much more interested in acquiring other companies and catering to stockholders than investing in more employees for skeletally staffed teams. -- There is a "silo" mentality among business units; the lack of communication/sharing of knowledge is pervasive. -- Some managers need to exert control over even the most inconsequential aspects of a project, and they create a toxic atmosphere by threatening job loss if (often unrealistic) deadlines are not met. Some of these managers have been in the Pearson system for years and have earned a reputation as dead-weight employees. -- In staffing cuts, many highly competent, hardworking people are let go while the dead weight remains.
