Pros

PMI is an employee-centric company, and that shows from the very top on down. They really have an understanding that the employees make the company work for our customers, volunteers, and other stakeholders. Lots of professional development and general learning opportunities. If you like fast-paced and dynamic, then this is your place!

Cons

If you don't like fast-paced and dynamic, then this is not your place. PMI has been rapidly growing since I've been here, and working on overload comes with that territory. They hire to meet demand, but I'm sure it doesn't always seem fast enough.
