Pros

good salary, will to change (new), trying to be innovative

Cons

No open dialogue. Management is manipulative. Low trust to the employees. Too much time spent with the company itself, poor middle management. If you are violiating some insufficient formalities (for example you are a bit too late or if you have forgotten to put your hours in SAP) you are punished. If you are trying to make new project, you are not appreciated, instead you need 6 months to get a small budget. Management does not trust you and is not willing to make decisions, which may have any even very low risk.

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)
