Pros

None. Current employee but likely soon to be ex-employee.

Cons

The company has gutted itself. Currently almost ALL roles are being outsourced to non-Pearson employees with minimal to no supervision. This can only result in shoddy content. The company is in the midst of rebranding itself, branding that harkens back to the days of British Colonialism in many respects w/ Pearson positioning itself as the means of poor down-trodden dark-skinned people clawing their way our of poverty with technology they can't afford. Upper management is delusional and is a clear oligarchy attuned to their own interests, the stock market, and not the product.

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.
