Pros

Smart people, many very knowledgeable about their industry and jobs.

Cons

In the process of planning a major set of layoffs as they adjust to changes in the industry. Lots of politics with the CIO and his crew making a big power play. Significant changes in how things are done are coming, and if it's like past reorgs, there will be much confusion, many people will leave or be let go, and things will just keep getting worse. I'd avoid Pearson for a long while. They may not survive.

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.
