Pros

The people at Pearson are pretty great -- dedicated, intelligent, caring. I was given a lot of freedom to create my own schedules -- there wasn't a lot of oversight.

Cons

Pearson is in the midst of yet another restructuring and laid off 20% of its San Francisco staff. The morale is very low -- it was kind of like working in a morgue.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
