Pros

Pearson has many bright, informed, compassionate people at the sub-VP levels. When given the budget, they produce top-notch, innovative materials.

Cons

The in-house staff is often forced to lower the overall quality of their products to stay within budget. It must be really hard to control quality when you can't pay for it.

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.
