Pros

East Hanover campus is very employee friendly with many very nice amenities. Management is typically open to listening to employee ideas and suggestions. Tech Ops is consolidating across divisions which will cause complication in short term, but long term opens more opportunities.

Cons

Company is going through much change, driven centrally from Basel Headquarters. Support functions are being squeezed to fund other parts of business.
