Pros

Big company, some training for employees, international, interesting responsibilities, leader in its field. The Verbund is pretty cool.

Cons

Atmosphere is not good in some of the business. Beaucratic. Job Market Employees treated as "second class". Less training, no bonus, no company retirement plan - although you may be told chances to get hired permanently are good, it is getting harder and harder due to the hiring freeze. Your are really serving a purpose for the company and therefore you really feel like you are being taken advantage of - so I can really recommend to not do 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)
