Pros

Large corporation, multiple opportunities for career changes or locations. Benefits are reasonable. They work very hard to remain competitive in the market and are a leader in most of their markets.

Cons

The need to remain competitive means they work with minimal staffing which means the hours can be long. It's a German company and Germany is #1 priority - multi-billion dollar job-saving programs are implemented at headquarters while other regions are downsizing - lowers morale.

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)
