Pros

Flexible hybrid work. Executive team generally listens to employee concerns. Generous PTO package. Colleagues are all incredibly smart and experts in their fields.

Cons

Path forward for promotions and growth is unclear. Felt underpaid given the quality and quantity of work that was being produced.

Pros

Nice office. However, spending more money on real estate than staff development/compensation.

Cons

I second the review titled: "Worst place I have ever worked". HR needs to be better. I provided a year-end review of my manager using words such as "inconsiderate", "does not listen to those who are beneath her", "difficult to work under", etc. No follow up. My review disappeared into the thin air and the manager was promoted. Do not join this organization unless you are an MD with prior experience and known respect from the PCORI community at the start, or otherwise be willing to accept low pay and a huge hit to your confidence.

Pros

Committed, sharp colleagues committed to PCORI's vision. Leadership does its best to listen to junior employees. Flexibility with remote work.

Cons

Can be difficult to navigate company "red tape." Compensation and promotion structures not transparent. Leadership sometimes make decisions without hearing junior staff member voices.
