Pros

Senior leadership is smart and shrewd like a wartime C-suite should be. They are improving at defining and articulating strategy. Other pros about PMI are the people, somewhat flexible hours, and getting to work for an organization that makes the world a better place. It's also fun to get to connect with people from all around the globe and work on some cool projects.

Cons

Menaka Gopinath, PMI's new CMO, is patronizing, sarcastic, and demoralizing. Whatever marketing chops she has is consistently overshadowed by how rude and nasty she is. Work-life balance has really deteriorated in recent years. Cutthroat management has led to an increasingly toxic work environment.

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

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.
