Incredible opportunity - not your typical not-for-profit - Manager Project Management Institute Employee Review

Pros

PMI is financially sound and continues to grow. No layoffs. Great benefits and flexible working arrangements. There is a commitment to professional development and the organization is getting better at public recognition for outstanding achievement. We see people get promoted from within or move to other positions in a different area of the business as development opportunities. Staff is dedicated to members, volunteers and credential holders.

Cons

Being a global organization, there is little downtime - when the US is sleeping, Asia is awake. When the US has a holiday, Europe or the Middle East are working. Email never stops. A collaborative culture means many people are involved in all decisions, which can be frustrating for some people who are used to working in silos or making independent decisions.

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.
