Ventajas

- Progressive "Green" Company, well reflected in management policies and perks - In most departments employees are treated very well - Many opportunities to grow professionally and move around within eCollege and the greater Pearson - Strong benefits, perks, bonuses, etc - Employee ideas and innovations are taken seriously by management and can contribute to making big improvements in policies and workflows - Nice office facilities and location (Southglenn Mall) - Most developers hired are very intelligent and knowledgeable - Stable, growing company, low turnover

Desventajas

- Pay/Salary for some groups is at the bottom or beneath industry standards - There seems to be an anecdotal consensus among most employees that "one hand doesn't know what the others are doing". This leads to a plethora of "unecessary" situations, and a subtle air of cynicism and resignation. - Integrity issues can be frustrating: There is a disconnect between promises made by sales and management to clients, and development teams not having the empowerment or resources to create or deliver whats been promised - Poor communication: The company is growing quickly in size, and communication breakdowns are happening more frequently, some teams and departments have notoriously terrible communication, are dishonest and will attempt to throw other groups under the bus to cover their own incompetence - "Old School" company elements: It can be frustrating to have to work with certain elements of the company that are still very much "old school" in their understanding of technology but who still have considerable power and influence

Ventajas

Work-Life balance can't be beat. I work for really smart and interesting people. I get to tackle tough problems with modern technologies. Benefits are great, and the office space is in a great place.

Desventajas

Raises are a joke. Still fighting with the old publishing company mindset. Hard to hire good people and/or keep them, and definitely various ranges of talent and accountability throughout the company. Also way too many contractors.

Met some cool co-workers, and now I can beat anyone's party stories for the worst things that can happen at a job

Desventajas

First off I will just say that Frontline, the PBS news documentary, did a special on the top 5 most crooked and manipulative online colleges in the country. These are Pearson eCollege's top 5 clients, so you will not have any feeling of doing good in the world while working there. But don't worry, you won't be treated like a good person either. In my time there I witnessed the help desk department heads steal time off from employees, frame 2 of them for crimes because they publicly disagreed with the Director, saw two manager sex scandals covered up, and (and this one is my favorite) once almost was trapped in a fire because they turned off the fire alarm in the help desk so we would work through drills. All for $14 an hour. Stupid me for staying so long. Oh, P.S., once they released a memo advising employees they were spending too much time in the bathroom, and praising our "best bathroom employees" as examples to follow. So, I take it back, that one is my favorite.
