      Pros

      PMI is undergoing a massive transformation with the arrival of the new CEO last year. We've shifted from a highly conservative and slow-moving approach and extreme risk aversion to an entirely new culture centered on innovation, speed, risk-taking, and accountability. Much of the previous senior leadership team has been replaced with individuals who are either highly regarded within the organization or external hires who are highly praised by those who've worked with them. I recently attended our global event in Atlanta, and the feedback from the community was overwhelmingly positive. Most our staff is incredibly enthusiastic about all the changes, and I've yet to meet anyone among my colleagues who wishes to return to the old PMI.

      Cons

      Even though we've got momentum going, it's clear for many of us that much more needs to change. The basics, especially our products, have been overlooked for years by the previous leaders. Now, with all the changes happening, there's a lot of resistance. Many managers aren't too keen on shifting from their comfort zones. To give them some credit, many are confused about what we want from them, mostly because their own bosses aren't on board with the change or are just too worn out. But on the bright side, there's a new generation of employees and managers who get where we're trying to go and are eager for the change. It's very important for the senior leadership to give this group the permission and clear guidance so we can make the vision happen and take PMI where the profession needs it to be.

      Thank you for acknowledging the positive changes at PMI! As you have mentioned, we are engaged in an organizational evolution. We are simplifying our offering, streamlining our operations, improving efficiency, and reframing and rebuilding our foundation to stabilize PMI for years to come. While change can feel like a breath of fresh air and uncomfortable at the same time, we are doing our best to ensure our teams are informed and supported through this change.

      Pros

      Great company, great leadership, very clear strategy and a very passionate community.

      Cons

      Not many cons, maybe disorganized sometimes. Too many internal meetings.

      Pros

      Remote work, but that is really it.

      Cons

      Compensation used to be competitive, but workload, expectations and initiatives have increased, Everyone is being asked to do more, and work harder with the same resources with no consideration for fair pay. Senior leaders are well aware of how they are perceived, but choose to do nothing, or simply say they are working on fixing things, with no tangible efforts seen. Our CEO is running the reputation, culture, and company into the ground for the sake of revenue. Him and his executive team are known bullies, and even though this has been complained about by so many of us, even to HR, nothing is ever done about it. We NEED board intervention. Just take a look at PMI's ratings. Even with the reviews obviously crafted and directed by internal leaders to try and suppress negative reviews. I will also add that career growth is non-existent, and the determined best fix for these concerns was training telling employees its their problem to figure out. Really makes us feel valued.
