Pros

big company looks good on resume

Cons

Polymers is a dead end for R&D discrimination - sexist, and will be treated differently unless you are white or black. Zero care given to those with disabilities and retaliation is taken if you try to speak up gaslighting - management will say one thing and another the next day, lie to you and HR will back them up. They treat you like dirt then right when you're about to quit they give crumbs and false promises to get you to stay bullying - management gangs up on technicians and "make examples" of those who try to "speak up". I saw someone get physically assaulted and there were no consequences. Those with disabilities are spoken down to and kept from becoming full time hires

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)
