Pros

Many projects and a lot going on gives many opportunities for growth if you are aggressive and have a good manager. Opportunity to meet so may great people across a wide variety of industries.

Cons

They turnover upper leadership every 2-4 years, so projects move very slow and the onboarding process is constant, which distracts from getting projects done. They are stuck in the 1980s (some sites in the 50's), trying to dig out with a digitalization initiative... there is an incredible lack of resources you would not expect from a large company. There is a lack of efficiency. The compliance group is not operating well, and many toxic and dangerous people exist in upper management. Necessary to avoid upsetting these people (the goal is not always to make money for the business, but rather to make leaders look good).

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)
