Pros

Very difficult to find anything nice to say. For the last four years i have been there, not a single day passed without any politics. Senior management is in better hands now as compared to say 2 years ago.

Cons

- Extremly political place, politics are played by the senior management themselves. - Promotions are hard to come by, if you are not well connected.Very difficult to do anything if you are reporting to a boss who is insecure, he will not let you develop. - Salary growth and bonus is at all time lows. - Very low employee morale. - If someone has an issue, no one seems to really care or bother. - Contractors paradise..there have been contractors who sock up and have stayed put for 5-6 years.

Pros

Management encourages and supports initiatives for process improvement. There is a lot of freedom for new ideas. The country-specific units of the global PMO transcend cultural differences and are able to focus well on process changes, training programs, and proposals for continuous improvement.

Cons

Communication facilities and collaboration tools could be improved. Face to face communication between PMO units is made difficult by strict expense limits.
