Question 1
What motivates you more? The fear of losing a deal or the joy of winning?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Pearson in Oct 2016
Interview
I was called by the hiring manager about the open position. First off, it took three calls for him to have ample time to speak with me. When I showed up for the interview the next day, the interviewing manager was 20 minutes late. This confirmed what I suspected: he was very unorganized. I have been in publishing for almost 10 years and I would not pursue a position with Pearson after this experience.
