Pros

Remote work environment Paid time off

Cons

The pay is disappointing, especially considering the current inflation. One would expect PMI to acknowledge this and adjust our salaries accordingly. The heavy monitoring in our department makes it a less enjoyable work environment. It's unfortunate to leave such feedback, but this situation has impacted my mental well-being, and I'm exploring better opportunities with higher compensation.

Transformation, exhaustion, and burn out

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented hard working people. Fairly decent pay. Travel perks. Good benefits. New CEO seems promising but time will reveal.

Cons

Technology out dated. Poor execution of strategy. Building old and out dated with insufficient space for current staff and visiting consultants, too many consultants. Executive team has no confidence in staff ability and seems to believe that things didn’t get done due to staff incompetence and not because of the cultural burdens of the past which hampered innovation and resisted change. Moreover organization seems ill fitted for goals. There is no opportunity for advancement due to small size and tendency of tenured staff to stay FOREVER. Unfortunately technology is very outdated which makes updates and integrations slow or impossible. Take a job here and be prepared to work long hours and wear multiple hats....burn out is real.

Not what it could be!!!

Pros

Good medical benefits, great co-workers. (really some of the best)

Cons

4 weeks vacation to begin, but be prepared to be berated for taking it. Some managers are NEVER wrong. Proving they are, is a fast track out the door. Don't bother to report to upper management or HR. It will fall on deaf ears. They protect their own, even the worst of the worst. Can't rate CEO or Board as they are completely removed from staff. Political correctness about the chain of command is out of control. Any information that flows down from the top is shrouded in company speak with no real substance. Really good people are leaving or being pushed out and no one is trying to find out why. Technology is about 10 years behind. Some extremely talented IT folks but it takes months to get new ideas or improvements approved, if ever. IT can only work with what they have. If you want a job where you keep your head down and agree with everything managers throw at you, don't share good ideas for fear they will be dismissed or stolen, and never point out mistakes or inconsistencies in upper management, this place is for you.
