A great fit for a senior developer

Senior applications developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very friendly and knowledgeable team that embrace new technology and are eager to get you involved. Very competitive pay and excellent benefits including flex time and work from home availability. Business analysts and project managers come to SCRUMs and meetings far more prepared than those of my former employers. Couldn't be happier with my first month.

Cons

Nothing so far. My commute is a little longer than what I am used to but still not bad and will be further mitigated by eventually being able to work from home.

Used to be great; on a downhill slide

Program administrator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, great people, great work/life balance. Was a great place to work for many years.

Cons

Re-alignments, re-organizations, and all of this is not really helping PMI out at all. Lots of hiring and firing going on in IT. Membership on the decline. Lip service being paid to agile even though it's the future (and the present from what I can tell). Having the market research department being part of the marketing department means that market research, which should be objective, will always have a bias. Also, talent development and advancement used to be a priority; not so much anymore.
