Vantaggi

Initial interview with recruiter was smooth and engaging.

Svantaggi

I recently applied for a Business Analyst (BA) position at this company, and while the initial experience was promising, the assessment process was disappointing. The job description clearly outlined basic SQL knowledge and standard BA roles and responsibilities, which aligned with my expertise and expectations. The recruiter was professional, and the interview process started well. However, the assessment provided was unrealistically challenging for a BA role. It was designed more for a developer, with complex technical questions that went far beyond the SQL basics mentioned in the job description. This discrepancy between the job requirements and the assessment made it feel like the company either doesn't understand the role of a BA or has misaligned expectations. I believe assessments should test skills relevant to the role being applied for, and unfortunately, this wasn’t the case here. It’s something the company should reconsider to provide a fair and accurate evaluation of candidates.

Vantaggi

Some decent coworkers (usually the ones trying to survive like you)

Svantaggi

If you're considering working at PCMI, I’d strongly recommend thinking twice. The internal environment is rife with politics and favoritism, and promotions often depend more on who you know than on performance or merit. There’s no real leadership - upper management fails to take accountability, and when things go wrong (which is 90% of time), they are quick to shift the blame onto associate-level employees. Leadership is reactive rather than proactive, and decision-making is slow and disconnected from reality. This dysfunction spills over to clients, 95% of whom regularly express frustration over delays and unresponsiveness. Instead of addressing these systemic issues, leadership continues to deflect, creating even more pressure on front-line staff. Hard work and results mean nothing here. If you’re not in the “favorites club,” you’ll be overlooked, ignored, or blamed when things go wrong. If you value clarity, fairness, and professional growth, you won’t find it here. Do yourself a favor and stay far away - there are far better companies out there that will value your time, effort, and sanity.
