Pros

Great employees work here. Products are good.

Cons

Short sighted decisions that are all about l about the end of the quarter, or getting out a particular release. Some of the most talented employees will get laid off in a whim. Management will just cancel a project and lay everyone off who worked on that project no matter how good of an engineer they are. Whatever it takes to look good to a shareholder and get their bonus at the end of a quarter. More managers than any company i have ever seen. Healthcare benefits are not good.

Pros

Nice cafeteria. That’s about it

Cons

The culture in NJ has been toxic for over a decade. Backstabbing, arrogance, demeaning behavior is the norm. There is an I in team. Everyone in it for themselves on projects. Never saw anything like it in other companies. And if you’re a female over 45 good luck. Many had been let go for no reason, with bogus excuses. It is all condoned from the top.
