Pros

fair training opportunity; if lucky will have warm-hearted colleagues / seniors helping but everyone worries about his / her own rice bowl so team members often fight for lime light to keep afloat.

Cons

A space where no one really speaks his / her mind as people do disappear suddenly (asked to leave). So called 360 degree review is scary as if spies are everywhere. Too many small interest groups and cronyism. Team members can compete internally rather than work collaboratively. Disposable culture: employees can be seen as disposable resources; no real intention to develop their career; politics among middle management make it very difficult for subordinates to truly deliver

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.
