Pros

There are some good benefits to working at Pearson, The industry is Interesting , benefits are decent (though insurance dues are high compared to most other companies) and people are good .

Cons

The company has a top down management style and they don't appear to value their employees. Blame game is very prevelant and employees don't have a sense of job security. Work environment can get very stressful

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.
