Pros

The talented people working for Pearson is amazing. I had the opportunity to work with a great group and learned a great deal from them. Salary and benefits are good as well.

Cons

In the last restructure, it was all about favoritism, if you were in with a certain manager, you were kept. If not, you were let go. The talent they let walk out the door was shocking. No one looked at successes, talent, etc. The management team needs a complete overall in the Higher-Ed division.

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.
