Pros

The company is very focused on hiring diverse candidates and promoting inclusion among the workforce. The senior managers focus on work/life balance and addressing social issues. This is great and makes for a good work environment. The salaries are very competitive and the overall compensation package is very attractive.

Cons

There are a lot of inefficiencies, waste and complexity in the organization. The various business units operate in silos and the leaders are not always concerned with the health of the company overall, but are more concerned with their own division. It is very difficult for a new employee to learn to navigate the many layers of the business. Your support teams are very often located in different parts of the world and it makes it difficult to know who is responsible for what aspect of the business.

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)
