Pros

Love building products that support education, flexible hours/schedules, very bright, dedicated people.

Cons

Jobs are vanishing from the US. People all around Pearson need to pay attention as the reorg continues, high paying jobs will stay in UK (Empire) and all others off-shored to India or SL. Moral is very low, management is saying that certain areas are 'growing' but are not forthcoming as to 'which' jobs. I am being asked to build things that will be handed off-shore. Sad to see more US jobs leaving the continent while big tax breaks are given to these Corp Giants. Managers are looking out for themselves to hold on to their jobs and "training budgets". If you work for Pearson US in any division, be prepared at all times to find other employment. Some jobs will stay, but many will go away - don't fall for the illusion. If you are in SL or India - many things to come your way. US 'open' positions may just be temporary.

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.
