Pros
Pearson is a great name to have on your resume and it's wonderful to work as the market leader and have the benefit of a great list, great authors, and a ton of data and resources to back up your projects.
Cons
Everyone works here 24/7. If you take time off (even company holidays), expect an overloaded inbox upon your return. I'm not sure why anyone does this--I feel very motivated to work for Pearson from 9-5 Monday through Friday, but the monetary compensation is not very competitive. It's certainly not enough to work at home like some do. Another key con is that it's a huge organization, which means that it's sometimes very difficult to implement easy and intuitive changes or get very simple things done.
