Pearson reviews

While this is a large company there are many small teams that we interact with, and people have been there for many years, so there is a real sense of collegiality. Very nice people, none of the arrogance I've experienced at some of the start-ups I have worked at. I work in systems, and they are very complex and it takes many months to sort things out. But the people involved are very patient, very smart, and very willing and ready to help out. Often people are located somewhere else, so there are lots of conference calls with people we may never meet. I have years of experience and found there was real age discrimination with some of the companies I interviewed with - but not here. They welcome the experience, and there are many people my age or older here. A very nice change. My manager is great, very knowledgeable, really cares about the team and doing a first class job. Just very, very busy, but still able to make time when needed. I like this company and the people that work here.

The company attracts many people who are committed to producing high-quality educational materials and their enthusiasm is contagious. The company also is willing to invest in continually improving products and responding to the market, so you feel like you're working on the "winning team." Also, many managers are supportive of flexible schedules and the company overall has policies to support work-life balance.
