Pearson reviews

I get the struggle of a publishing company transitioning to digital, but as a former CEO once said, "it is easier to change while you are on top". Well, that time has come and gone. Now it is going to get tough. Nobody wants to be part of a sinking ship.

Pearson is going through many re-organizational changes and they have removed their leadership to London. There is a large disconnect between the London management and the US based teams. Communication is poor, there is no buy in into the US staff which is resulting in the loss of many highly knowledgeable and experience staff. Employees are not invested in and permanent employees are driven to leave by difficult and hostile working environments. It's truly unfortunate that a company with such promise and vision has such a poor working environment and treats their staff as just another tool to be used.
