Pearson reviews

There is no job stability here. There is layoff after layoff, reorg after reorg. The organization is change-over saturated. Morale is horrible. Upper management cares about making profits, not about what is best for education. Promotions only happen if you get in politically with the right person. I've worked for several companies, and this was by far the worst. They do not respect you for speaking up or doing the right thing, you question your morals, and then they layoff people with experience. This is the worst place I have ever worked.

Huge publishing company trying to become an Internet/Web company. And it is just painful. Attempting to bring ,any separate companies under one umbrella with a new crew of executives that are simply not up to the task. Frightening amount of micromanagement from managers that cannot grasp the technology, yet are expected to. Great deal of FUD in the upper echelons of management. One side of the house is trying to bring back 1993, in terms of operations; another wants to be the next Facebook. Creates a nearly schizophrenic atmosphere. Unstable environment is, predictably, driving out all the talent as they go elsewhere to find fulfillment; with the remaining workers either under-skilled or overwhelmed. Still a lot of good people that are trying hard, but even the most optimistic feel it is largely in vain.
