Lots of challenges ahead

Pros

Complex, global challenges present good opportunities for professional growth. Company has good reputation. Overall good co-workers.

Cons

Recent staffing cuts have been too deep in some areas, others appear to be unaffected. Work life balance can be difficult to achieve in some departments, burn-out is a real risk. Salaries are a bit below competitors for everyone but the senior management (whose salaries are above market-level). Departments are still a bit insulated and act in the department self interest, rather than an enterprise-wide view. Some of the restructuring seems to have been poorly thought out. The company is flush with cash, but some of the facilities are in a severe state of disrepair. Company benefits have suffered (such as the quality of the cafeteria).

Pros

The management team has a very compelling vision of the path forward, and there are very visible sign of changes that will take the company to the next level. Work-Life is very balanced, and the benefits package is very good. Working here will be of great benefit to your career if/when the vision of upper management is realized.

Cons

Salary does not appear to be comparable to similar positions in other companies. Main campuses are in the NJ area, and not a lot of opportunities for international or other positions.
