Pros

Opportunity to work with international clients & travel

Cons

It was quite a shock for me to discover that it was the most badly managed company I have ever worked for. Management could be complacent due to the market growth in ESG, without the need to really consider what is PRI's purpose and value. Lack of rigorous strategy and priority setting, instead ran by favouritism and those who speak loudest gets their projects approved. No induction process, no prioritisation process, no hand-over process, no exit interview (only given to a favoured few), no quality control, just no proper process across the organisation. Worse still, it had an unsupportive and unprofessional culture. I sensed that many people at the PRI had a problem of feeling superior (to businesses, investors) due to the feeling that 'I'm trying to saving the world', which translated into contempt towards signatory members, and short-cutting processes and quality.

Pros

I was a Work-Study student working part-time at PRI during the last semester. Everyone there was really nice and helpful, even if I made a mistake or two. They went out of their way to be friendly and to help me learn how to do my job. Also, I learned many things about fossils that I hadn't known before!

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

None that I'm aware of.

Cons

Utterly toxic work environment. Extremely political. Hopelessly arrogant management, completely out of touch. Poor employee morale results in a revolving door of staffers with very short average tenure.
