Pros

PDC staff get to work on interesting real estate development and economic development projects in Portland and Oregon. The work is rewarding and the staff are all very smart and experienced professionals. It was a pleasure working here.

Cons

The PDC is a high pressure environment with sometimes intense public scrutiny on the projects and outcomes. Navigating this pressure can be difficult.

Pros

Great working environment, with talented intelligent people willing to help you grow and expand your horizons. That was my experience as an intern.

Cons

Cannot really think of any cons, except that the technology being used seemed a little outdated and they could really use an upgrade of their software and their systems.

Pros

The staff at PDC is one of the agency's strongest assets. They care about the city and that commitment is part of the culture.

Cons

It can be frustrating, depending on the department and how much it has to engage with external forces, to maintain positivity in the face of near-constant criticism from the media and the public.
