Pros

Depending on your department, you can have a really nice team. Especially if in a less senior group. Health insurance. Remote work. Flexible.

Cons

Too much shuffling and sudden redundancies for the sake of looking 'productive'. Some good people have been left go. Limitations on hiring (insistence on hiring in particular countries for no real reason apart from cheaper wage). A lot of corporate politics. Projects changing from high-ups and causing more work without consultation from the ones its going to affect most (and if they do it never feels like its listened to, especially if a higher up is particularly willful and thinks it should be done anyway) Poor wage increases and dwindling bonuses ( the pot is dictated by higher-ups so you're at their mercy regardless of how well you met or exceeded your goals) Not sure about Omar, I preferred it when Andy Bird was CEO, the company was a lot more promising then. Omar seems to be sculpting Pearson into something it can't be and cutting a lot of corners (aka staff).

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.
