      Great place to work

      Pros

      PMI is a great place to work. As stated in other reviews, Pay and benefits are excellent and competitive. You won't find better people to work with than PMI employees. I am thankful for the opportunity to work at PMI.

      Cons

      PMI is going through a reorganization. This may lower morale and cause employees to worry about job/department security. A few reviews mention promotions based on popularity rather than leadership abilities, and I agree that this can be the case (not always). This has happened for some time, so I don't think it reflects the current leadership. Processes are very complex at PMI. It is important to consider streamlining current processes and providing flexibility with technology options. It is almost impossible to collaborate with external stakeholders using Teams or Office. Permissions are often too tight, and many of us must find workarounds. External stakeholders often complain about the complexity of these processes. It is important to note that this problem is not unique to PMI.

      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.

      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.
