      Retribution, back stabbing, and toxic culture - AVOID AT ALL COSTS

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None that I can think of with how bad the culture has gotten here.

      Cons

      Too many to choose from. Extremely toxic culture where anything you say can and will be used against you. Rampant nepotism across the leadership with high level positions only filled by friends of the current executives. No vision to speak of and constant turnover. Pearson is trying to be a tech company without doing any of the work to change their culture. Even worse is they promise all kinds of things to new hires to get them in the door and then completely go back on those promises. This is so bad that some new hires has left very quickly, even not coming back after their first day. If you don't change the culture entirely, Pearson will absolutely continue falling further behind the market leaders.

      Pros

      No work at all, you have contractors to do all your work, they trust contractors to develop software and their full time employee should just tell contractors what to do.

      Cons

      You will unlearn all your software development skill, You may end up being jobless No pay hike No career growth No job satisfaction Horrible health insurance plans No perks
