      Excellent fill-in work

      CEO approval

      Pros

      The highly flexible hours was the biggest perk. I was scheduled as available for scoring sessions, and I was never signed up for sessions before I OK'd them - they'd ask which sessions I could go to and schedule me for those. I don't know of any other entry-level job that schedules around the employees. The scorers - retired teachers, mostly - are also a pleasure to work with, and the scoring managers are hyper-competent.

      Cons

      Excessive amounts of bureaucratic paperwork - most of the job consists of filling out redundant forms and filing. Some administrators were incompetent and deeply unpleasant, but they have impeccable job security. Don't expect corporate to care about you.

      Very capable employees and high respect for individual

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High work ethics within the project management team and excellent leadership. The company has a high dedication to respect personal lives but in return is asking for full dedication to the job. HR is very supportive and benefits are good. Overall it sometimes has the feel of a big family besides the size. Pearson always strives for improvement and the application of latest methodologies and technical developments.

      Cons

      Opportunities to grow are limited. There are very capable senior managers that have to make up for other seniority that take advantage of the company size and pose a bad example. Because of the growing speed of the company departments start viewing themselves as gate keepers, introducing their own rules and forgetting to view the company as a whole. Communication and working with each other are lacking in some places. Between some groups is a disconnect with makes it challenging to fulfill promises made to the customer and deliver to contract.
