Pros

CEO has integrity -- Pearson wants to improve education worldwide. Great culture and people.

Cons

Your (positive or negative) experience at Pearson depends a lot on the culture of your department and the senior manager. Difficult to advance in career path unless others leave. Salary increases are minimal, even with promotions.

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.
