Pros

I do graphic design work for Pearson. I would say, that as a company, Pearson tries to be a fair as possible. Where I work the people are pleasant to work with, the facility we work in is nice, the equipment I use is good. All in all, it makes for a very pleasant work experience.

Cons

It's the same negative of working for any company -- someone above you makes decisions that impact you, and it's not always what you desire to happen.

Pros

casual office environment . using newest technology ( trying new things all the time ) so that it's easy to find another job college town

Cons

the software itself is not complicated, and most of the time you just fix the bugs or add a small new function, not much innovation
