Layoffs Abound -- Don't Work in Satellite Office - Data Scientist Pearson Employee Review

Working on EdTech and helping improve educational outcome. Caring coworkers, altruistic & mission driven, etc.

Pay is reasonable for working in the education field but is slightly lower than working in other parts of tech.

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

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.
