Pearson Employee Reviews

Positive one for many years

Posted 22 days ago

I love it. I have been an employee throughout these past two years, and I have learned a ton. It's amazing.

Constant reorgs. Now rebranded as “iterative approach” to workf

Continuously nervous for my job. Disgusted with my pay. No merit, no reward. Seniority and talent carry no weight.

This company is a far cry from what it was before. Not in terms of revenue and profit but in terms of people and culture. I dread coming into the office every single day. What a terrible place to work made even more terrible by micromanagers on ego trips.

Everything, professional, helpful and wonderful

They are patient, they care, and their time is precious and very sensitive.

Omar’s background is interesting though I would have expected more humane valu

There are some that believe in the mission

My manager being a good person is the only reason I'm still here.

Litening to their employees, understanding the realmissues and root causes

Caring. Listening. Understanding what our company does and comes to us for. People come to us because we are NOT a specific tech company, but rather educational experts who work with tech. People now worry that to even disagree constructively and privately is now to be marked out as "unsupportive"

Be consistent and stick to the decisions you have made over time so that they can bear fruit.

Communication. Care about employees more.

Advocating for staff and students, ensuring that staff and students have what they need to be successful, and finding efficient ways to provide us with the pay that we need to survive

The rate of pay every two weeks

I enjoy the overtime, the hours are long, but it's worth it

Package wise Pearson is a good company..no issue.

My annual Bonus is great

The extras beyond the salary

Measurement is not transparent enough

More opportunties to progress. Clear expectations. Decisions based on data rather than favoritism

Recently, Pearson has not been rehiring design positions that are vacant from coworkers being fired or leaving on their own. We are doing more for the same amount, and the annual Cost of living raises do not match inflation or our output.

Pay is abysmal at Pearson and it's very commonplace for a new hire to come into the business making more than the person they're working alongside/replacing.

Review from IT Dept

Honesty on part of management

Their helpful, kind and wiling to ak question when it's needed, each employee knows how to engage respecfully with one another

My immediate colleagues are very competent, care deeply about what they do, and are supportive too.

Colleagues are the best, at least for venting.

Individual contributors got into this business because the majority care about education and learning and I see that across teams

The team had a great culture before the leadership change and that helps keep things going

To Hire high quality people

Better leadership that acts with integrity and doesn't make up lies

Develop a plan and stick to it. Stop getting in each other's way. Allow people to fail and learn. Trust your employees.

There are too many cliques in the department. No one trusts anyone else to help with their work.

Review from Product Dept

My coworkers already do an outstanding job. There aren't anything I would change about them besides the communication throughout the business that is about it.

Review from Sales Dept

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

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.

I didn't mean to select negative, that isn't true, but the process was smooth and very easy as it was done in a timely fashion

Straightforward. However the checks were inefficient after the offer was made. HR also disregard instructions at times - e.g. I have said that a degree is absolutely not required and they still screen out non degree applications for entry roles unless you very actively get involved.

Interviewers were friendly and open

My interview process was very unique as the manager was moving quickly to progress for higher, so my experience was great

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone appeared very kind and dedicated to the mission of accessible education at that time.

Make sure a HR rep is present for all interviews.

Review from IT Dept

To hire a more diverse hiring panel

Engaging with my peers and having our communication time together interaction as a team

My team. My work. Talking to our students and teachers.

Get to work with some really nice people - friends

Partner with professors and helping students I do enjoy helping people. I have a few coworkers I enjoy working with, but that's far a few in between.

Review from Sales Dept

Being able to add value and deliver products that impact people's lives positively.

Different leadership strategy, invest in products worth buying and people,

Centralisation from the Global team

Pearson is too slow to adapt to changing market.

retain staff and structures. Stop change for changes sake

V hard to improve. Customers see company as death star fundamentally against their best interests.

Their product philosophy is something to be proud of

Good work life balance. Hands off management.

my manager

Embracing innovation and change; evolving the workplace; embracing telework, independence and agile methodologies
