Used to be great; on a downhill slide

Program administrator

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, great people, great work/life balance. Was a great place to work for many years.

Cons

Re-alignments, re-organizations, and all of this is not really helping PMI out at all. Lots of hiring and firing going on in IT. Membership on the decline. Lip service being paid to agile even though it's the future (and the present from what I can tell). Having the market research department being part of the marketing department means that market research, which should be objective, will always have a bias. Also, talent development and advancement used to be a priority; not so much anymore.

Pros

Great company, culture, value and employees.

Cons

How engaging the work was, was pretty hit or miss. Leadership really needs to take direction on projects and make engaging work possible.
