Pros

Good employees who believe in the products and services Pearson creates. Over time, employees have had opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

Transitioning to a digital services/media company has taken a very rough toll on employees and the workforce has been trimmed significantly as lines of businesses are cut. A lot of in-house work is now being outsourced.

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.
