Pros

Had a great flexible work arrangement.

Cons

Overworked. Worked a 45+ work week w/o compensation. You were required to take on what they gave you, or else you would get negative reviews.

Too much nepotism and buddy hiring, and no real innovation.

Pros

Very eager people and thought of making things great, but that is it.

Cons

No real innovation, just leeching off existing tech or products and making it seem like they were doing things. Not really telling clients what is going on, or showing clients how to do things themselves...thus making Pearson's usefulness, consult, guidance, leadership...less relevant.
