Pros

Great colleagues (honestly!), great new polished office building. 200MYR for dental or optical insurance claim per year, 1 month bonus fixed every year + global bonus (based on global profits) + KPI bonus.

Cons

No HR hired for months, too emotional managers, ineffective language and editorial training Frequently changing and confusing workflow. Never put the burden and blame to the editors. My team were heavily burdened with lots of titles, and editors keep quitting, without quick replacement. Too many ad hoc decision

At the end of the day...soulless

Pros

I met and worked with many great, intelligent people at Pearson. I also received two promotions in the three years that I worked for Pearson Education and felt that I was generally compensated fairly.

Cons

I ultimately left because the company was continually more motivated by profit than anything else. I started in college publishing because I was passionate and interested in education; however, with skyrocketing prices and questionable digital strategies, it was eventually impossible for me to invest so much time and energy for a company and products that ultimately conflicted with my values as a human being. In addition, there was classic sexism and brutal management problems in my particular group and office. It was apparent that if you were on the ride side of management you could get away with murder and the rest were left to suffer in their wake.
