Pros

If you become friend with the supers, you can fudge off and they won't bother you. Easy money.

Cons

If you aint in the buddy system, you get fudged over. If you aint liked, you wont move up or around unless they moving you out the door. Work life balance is a joke. They force you in when they want. And they shut down when they want. The bonuses are catered to them keeping most of it. What they want you to do to obtain it is not serious.

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)
