Depends on what team you are in - Senior Software Engineer Pearson Employee Review

Too big of a company - Management is too busy to focus on an individual person. You're on your own from day one. Lack of communications between teams and within teams - Have seen developers working on the same story in parallel which ends up in duplicate efforts. Code base is fragile - Instead of fixing the root cause, often time developers apply 'bandaid' fixes. Can't really blame them when you know they're in a crunch mode. Theoretically developers are supposed to write tests but often times they're ignored or don't have time.
