Pros

Some great culture and work-life balance at a less senior level, and within selective teams Great HQ office

Cons

Unsure where Pearson is going as a company. AI is a buzzword that all departments use to please leadership, but there is no guiding principle for how it should be used to add value to the company (aside from headcount reduction), especially to its product. More senior staff have been hired or promoted since Omar joined the company, with constant mid- and junior-level re-orgs/redundancies that lack clear communication of their rationale, resulting in low morale. Disconnected HR team - if you join a team that has a toxic culture, then you will have a hard time working there

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
