Pros

Really interesting exhibitions and ability to work closely with artists. Lots of fun events that the museum was extremely generous in inviting all staff to, lots of flexibility and a relaxed atmosphere for the most part.

Cons

Basically, you are taught that the only relevant employees work in curatorial--the rest of the staff is treated like absolute garbage. This can be looked at as a pro or a con, but individuals can really behave in as impolite and inconsiderate as they would like, as like as they accomplish the tasks placed before them. The emphasis at PS1 is fully on "hard skills" and no one cares a bit for "soft skills." Many of the top people here are often straight up described as monstrous.

Pros

Great people, interesting work with something new always happening. You have access to the most incredible collection and exhibitions.

Cons

Confusing structure. Very limited growth opportunities. All in all probably not a bad place to be, just can be hard to know where you stand and if there's a future for you.

Poor management

Pros

Great collection; financial resources available for ambitious projects; a number of dedicated and professional colleagues.

Cons

Negative atmosphere. Teamwork is rare among curatorial colleagues. Despite abundant resources, proportionally little time and money allocated towards research or furthering the mission. Emphasis is on raising the profile(s) of a few key players. Poor hiring decisions (it's who you know, not what you know) that then burden and demoralize the qualified staff members. Unaddressed sexism. Indifferent and irresponsible HR department.
