Pros

The new building is nice & Newark is making a come back, but its not quite there yet.

Cons

Everyone is scared to take risks or make a mistake. Actually had to get Sr Managenent approval on what type of sandwiches to order for an event. I didnt think the benefits were that great, I had better benefits in the Pharma industry. Very behind the times technologically. A few bad apples at the top ruining the whole bunch. Also very boring culture. Panels of their own Sr. Management addressing the employees is their favorite form of presentation style, yawn...

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 Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.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.
