Pros

I loved working for Pearson for many many years. I always felt that we were cutting edge and very excited to be part of it all. Wonderful experienced driven people who are all now out in the world helping other companies be great!

Cons

Pearson lost its way in 2012 and beyond. They let go most of their digital team, but then the textbook people kept saying their were going digital. Crazy.

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.
