Pros

Pearson has some great talent and maybe even some potential for greatness. We'll see what's left after their most recent layoffs.

Cons

There is no clear vision communicated from the top. We keep rebuilding major systems instead of investing in the ones we've got. We think that agile is delivering twice a year.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
