At the moment, things are pretty downbeat, especially at the "legacy" offices. A new wave of headcount reduction (3,000 positions) has been recently announced, and that's apart from any sale of more major businesses, such as the US K-12 unit, or outsourcing/"re-bagding", where Pearson employees are transferred to a vendor, sometimes with a significant cut in compensation. There's little accountability above the middle management layer, and much of the top talent has left, or been pushed out in the other two re-organizations since the current CEO took over.

It is pretty calm. We have an open floor plan, so one can hear lots of different conversations going on.
