Pros

The people working at Pearson are clearly bright and passionate.

Cons

Pearson is in a constant state of reorganization and change, making it difficult to make effective progress. Morale is very low. Extremely limited opportunities for career growth. Several thousand employees were let go this year and the annual bonus was canceled.

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.
