Pros
Super smart people AMAZING benefits Salary is awesome. There is no way other companies can event compete on this level (note: start your negotiations on the HIGH end, you'll most likely get it) Office in convenient Chelsea neighborhood (near F train, short distance from Union Square 4,5,6,N,R trains Office plans are to fix up 4th and 5th floors and add a rooftop deck which is supposed to include BBQ grills, wi-fi, a bar. There are titles, but loose roles/responsibilities so you can create your own role (if you're given senior management support) Making a grand effort to scale Agile Scrum
Cons
Bullying in meetings On manager level, serious clashes between long time "ADPers" and newbie hires who don't understand the culture Technical Managers hiring ex-colleagues at former to replace ADP employees Hiring smart people with Agile experience but middle managers have NO EXPERIENCE with Agile and feel threatened to loosen up control and let the development teams self-manage In the last 5 months, a number of people started to leave No clearly defined roles Teams are expected to coordinate with 5 other Scrum teams, all in offices in different locations Roughly 12 UX Designers have nothing to do all day because the project they were hired to work on lost support from senior management. Some of these folks support families. Human Resources in this office is way outnumbered by the growing low morale and bullying. Its so sad to see. hope she gets some help from NJ office. **I realize that my review is the opposite of the majority of positive ADP reviews. i invite you to go to LinkedIn, type in "ADP", set the filter for NYC office, see your common connections and start asking questions. You'll get the real story. It's that simple.
