Pros

Benefits Work Life Balance Work From Home Fridays Ping Pong Table Video Games There's just a feeling in the Boston office that we're a publishing company turning tech. So there are a lot of changes and I honestly feel like I have an impact even in such a global, large company. Everyone wants the same thing: to make the software better. To make education practices better. They also seem to take care of their own. Promoting from within versus hiring. This makes it so your manager actually knows the product they're in charge of.

Cons

There is a lot of bureaucracy, especially because of all the fundamental changes occurring at Pearson in a global level. It's an old company that has its hands in a lot of places is redefining itself. Because of this, managers and higher ups don't exactly know where they stand and therefore leave.

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.
