Pros

Steady work, not many pros other than that

Cons

Nepotism nation, rely heavily on individuals instead of robust processes to operate. High turnover of senior managment goals are everchanging. Micromanagement is a way of life. Use or be used environment, the objective is to find a way to put work off on others and take credit for it.

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)
