Pearson Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

When we are becoming a family

The immediate team. Over the last 18 months the board has made the team dread their involvement or interactions with them.

I work at my lovely home

always learning, this does not change

Flexible working hours and wfh policy

The workers work hard and play hard.

Our people, our continuous learning and upskilling atmosphere

People work well as a team.

The kindness and patience that has been shown to me as I learn my role has been a positive force driving how I feel about our company and my job, in general.

New customer offerings. Cutting edge learning technology.

Review from Operations Dept

working from home most of the time

The people. I have met some of the best people at Pearson

We all work hard and work together to get the jobs done!

They care about their employees even though it is a huge company.

the openness and efforts to include D&I

People care about each other and work they do

Working from home and doing my own hours

The energy of my team!

I get to work from home! I only have to deal with negative and narrow-minded during meetings.

environment wise very good culture

Review from IT Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Leadership, need to listen and we need something to be excited about and to believe in

Pay, transparency, allowing change to settle

Leadership doublespeak is hard to follow, continuous growth, AI evolution mindset seems shortsighted

Better leaders that value employees and the company values

Executive leadership and accountability for all managers. Managers are promoted without ever receiving people training. There is a focus on output and not developing leaders and people within teams.

Equal pay policies (there's supposed to be one, but there is clearly not), stop with the reorgs - it's dragging everyone down!

Review from Product Dept

Better managment.

Review from Sales Dept

Remove nepotism from the company.
