Pros

I work in IT and I honestly have none. Even the benefits are only average. Last year many did not even get a cost of living raise but w have been told we may get a raise in 2017 so that's a positive!

Cons

Layoffs continue. Outsourcing continues. Any IT employee not in management is being replaced. Projects are months being schedule. I have been with Pearson 15 years and this is the worst it's ever been. The UK where this company is run from has no clue.

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.
