Pros

Good ideals, nice benefits, worthy cause, good restaurant.

Cons

In the past three years, Pearson has become the most dysfunctional company I have worked for in my career to date. Confused, callous, ego-driven leadership. I have never seen people treated as poorly as I have at Pearson. Talent retention and morale is low.

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.
