Question 1
Did you serve in the military? Did you see any action?
The interview process at Pearson is very challenging. Many steps along the way with multiple interviews and presentations. Apparently, there is a high turnover rate, and they are trying to avoid this through a difficult interview process.

Question 1
What motivates you more? The fear of losing a deal or the joy of winning?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Pearson in Oct 2016
Interview
I was called by the hiring manager about the open position. First off, it took three calls for him to have ample time to speak with me. When I showed up for the interview the next day, the interviewing manager was 20 minutes late. This confirmed what I suspected: he was very unorganized. I have been in publishing for almost 10 years and I would not pursue a position with Pearson after this experience.
