Reviews about "upper management"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
-good work-life balance -not much politics at the lower levels -mostly female middle managers and they care about being good managers -mostly good people who want to do a good job 9-5 -great location (Copley Square) -if you are someone that wants to work sincerely, but not super crazy like in a tech startup, this is a good place -despite the bad rap Pearson gets, some products are really cool and there are some very smart people who work there
Cons
-upper management is men. Folks, if you believe the glass ceiling doesn't exist in corporate America, come to Pearson.. where 80% of the employees are women but upper management is 90% men! -upper management is clueless and arrogant -hire managers from outside instead of promoting the ones in the company -frat boy culture in upper management -strategy keeps changing (read--no strategy)
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Cushy benefits if you can get a full-time position, competitive entry pay.
Cons
Bad for growth. Hardly any opportunities for raises or bonuses, no cost-of-living adjustments. Like most huge international corporations, what upper management decides to do has little concern for the needs of low level employees.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits and nice colleagues
Cons
Horrible communication with upper management - they spend very little time helping with questions that should be easy to answer or directed.

Cons
Layoffs and downsizing happen regularly Still operates as a publisher, not a technology company (including upper management) Salaries are not competitive, and bonuses don't pay out Work/life balance
Continue reading - Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
