Pros
Pearson used to have a lot of pros. It was a great place to work until John Fallon became CEO.
Cons
Upper management is completely disorganized and has absolutely no clue how to move the company from book publishing into a digital product and services company. This is after at least four or five reorganizations in as many years, and massive, massive layoffs, which continue to this day. If there was an actual plan other than firing people and leaving those left behind to fend for themselves with extremely limited resources, I could understand “trimming the fat.” But there appears to be no end in sight. Management is completely disconnected from their employees . Students and their education used to matter here, but now it’s all about the shareholders. If you enjoy working in a pitifully low morale environment, and you like waiting for the next shoe to drop (your impending layoff), this is the place for you.
