Pros

* Benefits are good * Relatively stable, hard to get fired * Compensation is at least market average (definitely not leading)

Cons

Unless you’re a chosen favorite early in your career, you will get little to no professional development, and you will get raises which only keep up with inflation. You’ll be functional, nothing more.

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)
