I know someone who works here and met with her and her co-worker to discuss the company in general. She helped me get in touch with the manager for the department I had applied to online. I had a phone interview and I think it went well. The man I spoke with asked the typical interview questions for an entry-level job and he was easy to talk to. We even had a nice conversation about something unrelated to the job. I was asked if I would like to come in the next week to discuss further. Despite the reviews I've seen on Glassdoor, I said yes as I would love to work for a publishing company like Pearson. Plus I like the higher education industry. I was told I'd receive details via email on the weekend (my interview was mid-week). I have yet to hear back, despite thanking the interviewer and following up twice. I understand not receiving a response for every application sent out, but since I spoke to someone directly and I was under the impression I had an in-person interview scheduled, I'm extremely disappointed I received no response, regardless of the outcome. So, I guess no offer.

I submitted by Cover Letter and Resume at the end of November. A week later I set up a phone interview, that later turned into 3 phone interviews with 3 different people spread over 2 days. Each phone interview lasted about 30-45 minutes. It was odd since they seemed to all work remotely and one of the people interviewing me had to stop mid-way since her dog was barking; found it a tad unprofessional. I sent my follow-up thank you emails to each one, but I never heard back (from any of them).
