Pros

The colleagues and co-workers at Pearson were terrific. High quality, intelligent, hard working, friendly colleagues. Also, it was great working in downtown Boston.

Cons

I was only there for 2 years, and then there was a big restructuring/reorganization. The company is in major upheaval right now and there could be more layoffs/downsizing.

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.
