Pros

Learning opportunities, flexible work hours, home office, e-learning and face-to-face trainings, being part of a reputable company, learning new skills

Cons

Low salaries Growth opportunities are limited and there is no transparency in the promotion phase Some managers do not have people management skills, are not qualified to be manager but somehow became one Senior management is putting so much emphasis on cost reduction, you are just a number as an employee

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)
