Pros

Great company if you want to get paid for doing almost nothing. Most of the managers, directors, CIO in Mahwah are all non-technical. This gives you a major advantage where you can do whatever you want to.

Cons

No career growth at all. They talk a lot about it but no new technologies are brought in as the Management team is non technical. Also, the office politics is horrible. Management has favorites and you need to get on their good side, if not you will end up doing work which others will then take the credit for it. Pay scale is also not up to NYC standards. The directors/sr. managers make 100% salary in bonus while the worker bees make 20%.
