Pearson reviews

Management is horrible - little or no experience managing people and horrible skills (micro-managing, etc.). Management was definitely one of the main reasons most people left. Also experienced "bait and switch" regarding the job that I was hired for - it was completely different than the job description and thus, had a very high turnover rate. When hired, I was told that I could move up easily within a year - not so. It is very, very, very difficult to move up within the company and oftentimes, external candidates were hired instead of internal candidates (when all other experience/education was equal). Once during my tenure, a co-worker of mine was offered an internal job transfer to another department and a few days before her start date, they told her they decided to go with an external applicant. AFTER they had already offered her the job! Unfortunately, this seems to happen a lot.

Managers and supervisors aren't the best -- many decisions are made strictly for the sake of the "bottom line" without considering company image, quality, and employees. Communication among departments, business groups, and locations is very poor and inconsistent. Too many stakeholders makes it difficult to get anything done in a timely manner. Senior management does not communicate critical information about restructuring, etc. to employees.
