Pros

Global company and some great people remaining. Good team spirit working with customers. Has good pedigree and reputation in industry.

Cons

Poor leadership at C level. No trust. Not transparent. Afraid of the direction company is taking. Top management do not listen and have their own agenda. Stock options were promised now nothing.

Pros

Compensation was market rate and the flexible hours and ability to work from home when needed were two of the very few things that are positives of working at the company and the only things that are keeping me there.

Cons

The company has seen a radical shift in culture, primarily a result of HR "leadership" and acquisition of the behemoth that is Pearson. The unique corporate culture used to be one the companies biggest assets and now it is by far its biggest weakness. Personal vendetta's were the core reason for virtually all of the male senior management to be driven out of the company and replaced with an all female management team. The gender bias that has plagued this company for the last 18 months is palpable to anyone and everyone with two eyes. All departments were impacted negatively by the Pearson purchase and were downsized with the exception of HR. That department continues to grow in size for reasons unknown to everyone at the company and is by far the biggest source of water cooler talk on an almost daily basis.
