Pros

Nice people, overall. Lots of teachers who need the work and are trying to create test content that is good, despite the fact that Pearson is a big corporation that just eats up contracts without much of a plan.

Cons

Dumping work on too few developers, not being clear about expectations, outsourcing important content overseas.

Working on EdTech and helping improve educational outcome. Caring coworkers, altruistic & mission driven, etc.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
