Pros

1. Phenomenal people. There is truly a fantastic culture within the people who work here. Largely outgoing and positive. People you'd actually want to hang out with outside of work. 2. General autonomy. They do a great job most of the time of letting you do your job without micromanagement. 3. Great product. Creating and selling product that you're proud of is a really rare feeling. The products is this company are cool, fun, and quality. 4. Office. Great office with 180 degree view of Puget Sound. Top notch equipment. Free soda and coffee. 5. Flexible Hours. You more or less can make your schedule, as long as it includes being in the office about 45 hours per week. They are really good about coming in late or leaving early for kids, doctor, etc.

Cons

1. Founder owned and ran. This is a very tightly controlled company from one person. This extends to every aspect of the company, and he has total say on everything, from who is hired for any position, to having to personally approve any raise, to title changes. There is a Cult of Rob that means you question him at your own risk and his Senior Management team in many cases (and a few other reviews have noted this) are super loyal, long term employees who are totally unqualified for their role. Company objectives and processes, even your very role, can flip on a dime and your goals can change mid year. There really is no coherent long term planning or structure, as it is left up to the whim of the founder. This company desperately needs a COO. 2. Pay. This is the second big issue with the company. PMI has once per year salary reviews. Salary increases must be fought for tooth and nail. If company objectives are not met, don't expect them to offer you even a COL adjustment. In addition, title promotions are even more difficult to achieve. PMI will offer you less than market value to start and sell the benefits, and then keep you there. In addition, more and more support positions have been eliminated and outsourced to an overseas office for additional cost savings. 3. Turnover. The above two issues create the third, and turnover is increasing. Low salaries, moving targets, and a massive workload mean the most talented producers in the company tend to move on the quickest. As a result, the remaining employees are habitually overworked and burn out is a real problem.
