Pros

Big company that can withstand some of the economic down turn longer than others. Best management at the Sales Management level, where these managers understand employees and the needs of the business much more than Director levels. This is a strong company that continues to grow.

Cons

Very weak Senior Management at the VP levels. Ego and looking after themselves first is very noticeable vs. taking care of their employees. Director Level is very weak in communication and making decisions, which hurts moral and employee trust. Compensation and benefits have declined every year, and HR is widely known to not be supportive of employees but rather Sr. Management directives to cut cost.

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)
