Pros

My co-workers were an eclectic a group of people. The fact that Pearson is in a very interesting and important industry enables a sense of accomplishment even when completing less-than-exciting tasks.

Cons

The lack of communication between various divisions and departments was very annoying. Some decisions seemed to be made by 'no one', just the product of a committee of timid individuals who might have lacked the requisite knowledge to even discuss the subject.

Pros

Pearson does offer a nice compensation package including tuition reimbursement. They offer a flexible work schedule and a casual work environment. I've been very fortunate to have managers that were understanding when I needed to take time off.

Cons

The IT organization has been reorganized several times in the last few years, which makes it difficult to understand roles and responsibilities within the organization. There are resource shortages in the IT organization, so it is very easy for employees (especially the good ones) to get an overwhelming workload.
