Pros

Being a huge corporation, it is doing well even during the economics downturn. Quite a few acquisitions in recent years. There could be a lot of career opportunities inside the company. HR encourages internal job changes.

Cons

Performance review process is terrible and good performers are not recognized. Too much politics and bureaucracy involved; If you do not play along, you will never be a top performer.

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)
