Pros

This is a company with an international outlook that is involved in all aspects of education in over 60 countries which gives its staff lots of opportunity to understand the business of education. The culture varies in different countries but overall it does support a good work life balance.

Cons

Whilst its a multi-national business. it's not yet fully integrated and staff may find it difficult to change roles. Innovation from within is not much encouraged.

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.
