Pros

In the past, provided a great place to start career and learn.

Cons

A little SHOCKED to hear that after all these years, the reviews here STILL find it’s an Old Boys Network and it’s all about who you know. Very sad to see this is still prevalent in today’s culture. You need to give EVERYTHING you have to succeed here. I’ve missed family and friends funerals bc of the demand from management. Am extremely happy to leave this part of my life behind.

Pros

Many of the people I came across at Pitney were genuine and I formed lasting friendships. Good benefits, decent pay.

Cons

High turnover in VP positions. New VPs would come in with "new ideas" even though we may have done exactly what they were proposing in previous years, just to see it not work. Broken processes, workhorses of the company are not appreciated, large amount of VPs instead of investing in the workers who get the job done.

Pros

Hard to really think of one, they will destroy any business that they get their hands on with the lack of strategic focus, and senior leadership at the business unit level who do not understand what it means to make a decision.

Cons

Its a bunch of old men in suits who are unable to keep up with the technology tide, over the last few years it has stumble through large acquisitions and basically ran each of these new businesses to the ground. The cross border ecommerce business is holding on by a thread. They lost several key players to amazon probably to build a competing product, yet they idly stood by and did nothing. These old IBMers who are our supposed “leaders” are uninspiring at best. The CEO can rally anyone to sleep when he gets up to speak. Majority of the business unit leaders for ecommerce does not have actual ecommerce experience, so wrong decisions are made regularly. Most of the employees there that chose to stay behind in the ecommerce BU are ones that are comfortable doing the bare minimum. In terms of colleagues that you can learn from, forget about it. These are the colleagues that are most likely to pawn off work to you so they can kick their feet up while you do everything, and when things goes wrong finger pointing and politics ensues! This is a dying company, PE vultures are circling hoping to get a cheap deal. Run away from this company, run far far away.
