Pros

When I joined PMI I was excited because there was a palpable sense of mission among the staff, a small but seemingly accessible group of senior leaders, and my role was filled with promise in terms of being visible, having the horsepower to affect change.

Cons

What followed was a year and nine months of Growing disillusionment watching good people get chased out, and watching the mission shift from the membership to the preservation of the bonuses for executive management - some of whom I should add I still respect as individuals - but collectively they couldn't manage a bake sale.

Pros

Great company, great leadership, very clear strategy and a very passionate community.

Cons

Not many cons, maybe disorganized sometimes. Too many internal meetings.

Pros

Remote work, but that is really it.

Cons

Compensation used to be competitive, but workload, expectations and initiatives have increased, Everyone is being asked to do more, and work harder with the same resources with no consideration for fair pay. Senior leaders are well aware of how they are perceived, but choose to do nothing, or simply say they are working on fixing things, with no tangible efforts seen. Our CEO is running the reputation, culture, and company into the ground for the sake of revenue. Him and his executive team are known bullies, and even though this has been complained about by so many of us, even to HR, nothing is ever done about it. We NEED board intervention. Just take a look at PMI's ratings. Even with the reviews obviously crafted and directed by internal leaders to try and suppress negative reviews. I will also add that career growth is non-existent, and the determined best fix for these concerns was training telling employees its their problem to figure out. Really makes us feel valued.
