Pros
-good work-life balance -not much politics at the lower levels -mostly female middle managers and they care about being good managers -mostly good people who want to do a good job 9-5 -great location (Copley Square) -if you are someone that wants to work sincerely, but not super crazy like in a tech startup, this is a good place -despite the bad rap Pearson gets, some products are really cool and there are some very smart people who work there
Cons
-upper management is men. Folks, if you believe the glass ceiling doesn't exist in corporate America, come to Pearson.. where 80% of the employees are women but upper management is 90% men! -upper management is clueless and arrogant -hire managers from outside instead of promoting the ones in the company -frat boy culture in upper management -strategy keeps changing (read--no strategy)
