Pros

Pearson is a great company to work for and the benefits are great. I've been working at Pearson for almost three years now, working on my second promotion. Management is very competent and easy to work for.

Cons

The disconnect and animosity between divisions.

Pros

The benefits are some of the best around. It takes only a couple of years to get 3 weeks of vacation and 1 week of vacation time. Health insurance costs are reasonable. Strong team environments and many opportunities to learn from others. A very relaxed environment, and flexible hours.

Cons

As with most larger companies, work environments differ between groups. Although my group averages 40 hour weeks, there are some groups that are averaging around 60 hours a week.
