Pros

Remote work, salary, opportunity for travel, mission/vision, global company, free certifications for employees

Cons

Everything you do is micromanaged. It's the project management institute yet internally its a mess. Creative, talented employees are hired and their spirit comes here to die. There's been two re-orgs/layoffs in the marketing department in 1 year. Once there's a rhythm, it's abandoned and new ways of working are established causing confusion and burnout. Good work is rewarded with more work.

Project Management Institute Response

We’re glad you appreciate PMI’s mission, global presence, and benefits. We are working to continually improve our internal ways of working and understand that frequent change can be challenging. We’re focused on improving stability and communication for the long term
