Pros
Pearson is the world's leading education company, with leadership in its market that is redefining the industry. Pearson's products are in the hands of nearly every learner in a formal education system in the planet at some time in their lives, which is both a great privilege and an awesome responsibility. Pearson handles that well through its commitment to excellence, its philanthropic endeavors and its thrust forward in using technology to even the playing field for learners of all styles and backgrounds.
Cons
Pearson's excellence stems from its traditional publishing background. It has not yet figured out fully how it will play in the digital world, and there are still a lot of internal systems and behaviors that are rooted in the past.
