      Pros

      Compensation Ability to work remotely as necessary

      Cons

      Constantly changing bosses People leaving Lack of face time with my boss Unresponsive Executive Management No back fills at all for a year, yet more work tossed our way ZERO direction from bosses at VP level up other than theoretical nonsense that every company has. Get tactical.

      The Squeeze

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary and benefits. Some divisions have wonderful cultures, others do not. It is such a large company that it really depends on your division. I worked with some absolutely wonderful people and also with (and for) some sadistic ones. The most petty, crazy, evil people I have ever known were managers there, and upper management did nothing about that, in spite of documented complaints.

      Cons

      The company is too large. Its mission to promote learning gets lost in profit-making. Decision-makers are not educators, yet they design educational products. Pearson acquires companies to make them become each other's customers. We were always caught in a budget squeeze. Although the company promotes a worker-friendly environment by sponsoring picnics and contests, our department did not have time to participate because we were frantically busy, trying to do more with less.
