Large, diverse company means opportunities to move around, if desired Financially resilient Some nice, intelligent colleagues Strong culture of health and safety

Cons

Excessive bureaucracy Matrix management means no one seems to take responsibility Centralized decision making means local businesses have limited authority Claims to be customer focused but is not, especially with respect to supply New performance appraisal process too vulnerable to subjective opinion Insufficient transparency to local business managers of profitability

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)
