Pros

Day-to-Day relatively smooth. Coworkers are usually very helpful and friendly. My team members and coworkers are the top few reasons I am still here. Location is very easy to get to- they provide a shuttle from PATCO and Regional Rail to front door of office Due to my specific job, my work/life balance is very good with the work from home flexibility and summer hours. Disclaimer: not all departments get these benefits.

Cons

Management- including my own manager- is so wrapped up in the game of politics that they are rapidly losing sight of "long term" goals, or really any goals at all. Employees should not feel threatened or scared for their job security by simply answering an email honestly or speaking to someone that is not their direct manager (politics, politics, politics). Benefits are awful and expensive compared to other competitors and our 401k match was just decreased by 1%. Turnover rate is consistently high. Resource constraints are bearable, but if we continue down the path we're currently going, I fear it will become worse. I honestly cannot say I know one person whose been placed in the last 6 months from a promotion standpoint that wasn't externally hired.

Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.
