Pros

The company offers decent benefits. The office soaxe in Jersey City is a good work place. The company is financially stable.

Cons

The company is good overall, however the finance department is run by a bunch of self centered individuals. It's like a game of musical chairs and a tight knit group of top individuals run the department, where there is a complete lack of understanding or even intent to address departmental issues. They have an extremely high turn over for a company this size. You either find people who have their life savings invested in the company so they wont move until are almost forced to retire, OR many young people who come and go as they see very little upside to their career. In a company this size you would imagine that people would look forward to a long healthy career with a good growth potential. But the growth is almost zero to none. You have to be lucky that someone above you quits at a bad time so you can be awarded a better position. So many people leave with zero notice given, which again....just proves how badly the department is run. On the flip side, the top management/ directors all not only make their bonuses, but also see good promotions. The disconnect between the management and staff is unbelievable. Otherwise, the company environment overall seems to be very good (besides the Finance dept)

Pros

The people. I worked with genuinely talented, hardworking colleagues who showed up for each other and for the work, even when leadership made that hard.

Cons

Leadership at the senior level was chaotic and unclear, and it trickled down into everything. Projects routinely landed with little to no notice, leaving teams scrambling instead of planning. Budgets were micromanaged from the top while strategic direction was not — a strange mix of tight control over spending and almost no clarity on priorities. Communication from senior leadership rarely made it down to the people actually doing the work, so teams were often the last to know about decisions that directly affected them. There was also a clear undercurrent of fear among some senior leaders that discouraged any real innovation or experimentation — better to play it safe than propose something new. If you're someone who thrives on clarity, planning, and a culture that rewards new ideas, this is not that environment.
