Pros

The benefits are unbeatable--4 weeks of days off to start, going up to 6 weeks. If you stay awhile, your salary will be higher than what you can get outside. Volunteers are passionate about the organization. You will almost surely be in contact with project managers around the world if your job involves volunteers. Travel possibilities.

Cons

Politics, favoritism and a culture of fear. Bosses are way more worried about what their boss will think than the positive reasons for getting a task done right and on time. This culture goes right to the top. PMI doesn't practice what it preaches. While there is tons of pressure to get too much done too soon, deadlines are rarely met and quality standards are poor. As others have said, lots of firing. Don't aspire to be a manager if you want to avoid that part of PMI.

Pros

Extremely strong senior leadership. Is there a better CEO? Not Likely. Employees are very passionate about their work. Work from home, company run with integrity, committed to their employees and it shows every single day. Understand work life balance, incredible benefits, competitive pay, casual dress environment. I could go on and on.

Cons

Advancement is encouraged but can be limited depending on which group your in.

Mark Says "Sell 'Em"

Pros

Great physical location. Some great people. A lot of opportunity to get involved in projects that you wouldn't see at a larger company.

Cons

Take a look at the names of the management team (below VP) and look at them now. See the difference? Virtually every single one of my peers was fired in a 2 year stretch. The only folks who appeared safe were in IT. When I worked there, PMI was really focused on providing quality products to a discerning audience, and the staff was very academic and research oriented. PhD's and EdD's as far as you could see. They're all gone. Now its all business school grads and talk is about revenue, not about advancing the profession.
