Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Many wonderful people happen to work here. Meet people around the world.

Cons

New CEO slashing teams left and right. Ongoing issues with lack of vision, siloed teams, constant sense of intense urgency, and little acknowledgement of resources as humans.

Project Management Institute Response
3y
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with compensation, benefits, and the opportunity to meet and work with colleagues around the world. We know that change can be challenging. But PMI is evolving to respond to the needs of our community, and, like most organizations, we sometimes need to adjust our ways of working and structure of our teams. The recent changes resulted in numerous internal promotions and career progression moves, as well as a few role eliminations. Although we are experiencing very strong growth in almost all regions of the world, we have also recruited hundreds of new employees in the last two years. We remain committed to providing a good work-life balance for all employees.

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

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.
