Pros

Pearson was a great place to work. Large company with room to grow. Very well compensated for the work I was doing.

Cons

Unfortunately, after a company merger and poor economic times, Pearson closed our office. Laying off 160+ of us.

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.
