Pros

Pearson has some strong products and great potential. The employee smart, energetic people who care about what they do. Great Copley Square location with wonderful, subsidized cafeteria. Nice physical environment and good people.

Cons

The pay is really really low for the degree of expertise and level of responsibility and committment required. We've had five years of virtually no raises, with an ever-increasing volume of work. How much longer do they think they can draw from the same well of energy and enthusiasm? This is soul-crushing. It is also difficult to continually let down our customers because we simply don't have the bodies to keep up with their needs.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
