Pros

+ The work atmosphere was great. + The pay was above average. + The site and offices were beautiful. + The benefits were great. I'd say if you can get a job there, then it's still a great job. As I'd hope they're done downsizing and out-sourcing. But I don't know how many IT-related jobs would be in the East Hanover site anymore. Cambridge, MA probably has some openings. And their European and India offices probably have the most positions.

Cons

- Unfortunately, the East Hanover site has severely downsized in the last 3 years. - They've outsourced at least one entire Division overseas. - They've torn down around half the buildings in East Hanover, since they were no longer occupied and could sell / rent the land to other companies. Frankly, until their outsourcing and lay-offs, it was a GREAT place to work. But with the recent changes, I don't know how much I can recommend working there purely based on job security.

Pros

Excellent Benefits Relocations Allowance Flexible Working Decent Pay structure Work life balance

Cons

The bonus is % is only 14%-20% max. Company does not appreciate open thinking or speak up culture as some people in leadership roles like CFO are not even qualified accountants. Expats suffer once they are made redundant from here as German language barrier impacts a lot of candidates and it is difficult to get same salary thresholds with other employers.
