Pros

Great people and culture at Pearson Australia. Flexible working arrangements was a great perk and suited my lifestyle. Overall, really enjoyed working at Pearson.

Cons

Needs to innovate and change quickly to respond to the market - struggling to do so fast enough. A lot is controlled by the US which makes feedback a bit redundant to go anywhere. Also lack of career opportunities in Australia.

Pros

Easy to stick around. Most of the people are great, free coffee. Busy, so less downtime to get bored. Healthcare, childcare vouchers.

Cons

No advancement for the majority of staff but various career paths are prominent on the internal literature. Poor pay reviews that are supposed to be based on merit yet those who go above and beyond are never graded as such which gives people no incentive to perform above what is deemed just good enough. Working outside job description for no career progression seems to be the standard while those in a senior position seem to grab all the recognition for the hard work of their teams.
