How's the vacation policy at Pearson?

The vacation policy in the US is very "aggressive," starting at two weeks for your first two years, then increasing to three weeks in the third year, three and a half in year seven, and four weeks in year ten, with a "bonus" fifth week added every fifth year after that. Plus, each employee gets five "sick" days, five "personal" days, and one "employee-designated holiday" each year, so even a rookie has four weeks of paid time off available - survive a couple re-orgs, and you can end up trying to cram it all in by year-end. That's the one drawback - it's a "use it or lose it" deal.

All right in terms of time. It depends on your manager to be a decent person whether they'll let you go out during the busy season. There is a lot of work from home and flexible hours.

Vacation policy is good in general. It can be more or less lenient depending on who your manager/director is.
