Pros

My manager was excellent in supporting and training me.

Cons

Since John Fallon became CEO there has been nothing but chaos. The publishing industry has lost touch with their customers - the students. When the president of Pearson North America says in a blog that he is "surprised that content is important to professors" you know you are on a sinking ship. The top management is inept. The company is run by "book people" and it needs to be run by technology people. Pearson is woefully far behind in technology and what they do have is constantly crashing. It's sad that a once great company is scrambling to stay relevant. They are unable to compete with the smaller ed tech companies and have lost major market share.

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.
