Pros

People are great. Good friends there and sharp people.

Cons

Been at Pearson for 10yrs and since this new CEO took over, the company has gone down hill very fast. Layoffs this week are supposed to be around 4000. All about outsourcing and only hiring in India and Sri Lanka. Bad time in the U.S. for Pearson. Run far far away.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
