Pros

I get to be an entrepreneur in a big company, which is an incredibly liberating and exciting opportunity. Pearson saw a market need for my service and have invested in it, which is an exciting experience.

Cons

Great vision, but poor management

Pros

- on teams levels: talented developers, great Product Owners - perks: flexible working hours, foods, insurance, health care - changes may be good for Pearson but not for staff I still hope I'll back someday to Pearson as I value what they do - help people grow by teaching English.

Cons

- unclear job description, Scrum Masters are more like Project Managers (Pearson, name them PMs not SMs!) - unclear future of offices in Europe as Pearson outsource to Asia - upper managers do nothing - ongoing, newer ending restructurisation made inexperiened people (fav pets) to get senior positions; carieer oportunities are low unless you have friends or luck - sexist in IT - experienced people start to leaving
