Pros

Pearson has some strong products and great potential. The employee smart, energetic people who care about what they do. Great Copley Square location with wonderful, subsidized cafeteria. Nice physical environment and good people.

Cons

The pay is really really low for the degree of expertise and level of responsibility and committment required. We've had five years of virtually no raises, with an ever-increasing volume of work. How much longer do they think they can draw from the same well of energy and enthusiasm? This is soul-crushing. It is also difficult to continually let down our customers because we simply don't have the bodies to keep up with their needs.

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.
