Cons
I used to have a lot more cons here, but Pearson is actually working hard to rectify them. Most senior management have all risen up the ranks through sales, which has made some of them woefully unprepared to manage this shift towards hybrid print/software products. (Some have been more adaptable than others.) Internal leadership programs are shifts in organizational management will perhaps resolve this over time. Pearson feels quite top-heavy from an organizational perspective. This often causes paralysis within the organization, along with a diffusion of responsibility and lack of clear leadership.
