Business Outlook

Pros

Pearson has above average benefits, and many employees work in a low-stress environment. Many of the products developed at Pearson are done with concern for the end user/customer.

Cons

The company is very big, and some business units may not receive the funding necessary to develop industry leading products. Middle and upper management are resistant to bigger changes even though the company continuously undergoes reorganizations.

Good company. Good people. Good benefits but not great pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and attitude. Nice offices. Provide training and mentor programmes. Teamwork is important. You must be a team player. Benefits are good, but pay isn't so great.

Cons

Varied leadership approach. Offices are not easy for everyone to get to. Benefits are good, but pay isn't brilliant - based on being outside London.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours and the opportunity to work from home.

Cons

The higher ups clearly do not value non-executive employees. Pay in San Francisco is far below the average. After Pearson, I got hired by a non-profit at the same title and am making a full 50% more than I did at Pearson. The low pay underlines the attitude of the execs: They seem to think their employees have no better options, and will just sit there and take the crummy pay and mismanagement. Turns out I didn't have to!
