Pros

It's a big global company in the FTSE 100, owns the Financial Times and part of Penguin, and helps millions of learners around the world improve their lives. There are fantastic benefits from health care, share schemes, and pension to individual bonus plans, opportunity to travel and improve yourself. It has a clear direction following a recent global restructure.

Cons

Many systems and technologies haven't changed quick enough to respond to needs in the market., We have produced products in platforms that often aren't compatible or user-friendly without properly testing or reviewing them around the world. This is a big source of frustration. Communication from senior management with regards to restructuring and vacancy filling could be better. It often feels like they are talking about many things behind closed doors that we don't know about.

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.
