Pros

Good reputation, professional, stable company, good people

Cons

The company has a German management style, which is mostly micromanagement. This stalls progress and hinders ideas to bloom. People work hard, but you wonder whether they work on the right thing, or whether it is just another feasibility study to make sure you won't get told off for doing something too bold. A lot of people have no mojo; they're just doing their jobs to get their pay checks.

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
