Business Outlook

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.
