Pros

For most of the company there is a big stress of work/life balance. Laptops are given to all and working remotely is ok in most business lines. However, not all business - so make sure you ask if working remotely is important to you.

Cons

The pay might be less than at other firms since they are based on NJ. Also, the biggest con is the old school atmosphere. Many employees have been with the company for 20+ years which stifles innovation and new ideas. Favoritism is also very much a part of the culture.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
