Pros

Easy access; Pays well; Clean office

Cons

One of the most vindictive environments I have ever experienced in my professional career. Employees do not deliver at all. None of the staff have technical knowledge of the infrastructure. Infrastructure is outsourced to subsidiary companies that are not responsive and always fail to deliver. The French HQ have meetings hat end Oui-oui but having decided nothing. There are no design documents to speak of and those teams responsible for them are not responsible because they do not have them. 1 or 2 engineers have the knowledge but they are completely unreachable. Management flips back/forth over decisions. No support from the PM team management. Infighting amongst the PM team and PMO over handling and costing. PM manager(s) are complete weaklings that will offer you to join a swapping party on one day but do not have the courage to step up to the plate and require protocol to be followed according to corporate directives. They reject overtime for all PMs but they refuse to pay for global teleconference that are completely out of work hours.

Pros

Very flexible WFH if you're a diligent employee and discuss it with your manager. I can't speak to any other departments. Somehow they keep winning "Great place to work," so I can only assume other parts of the company are better.

Cons

Horrific culture. Jersey City office is half empty and no one smiles or says hello. Walking through the halls, I often had the experience of smiling and saying Hello and receiving only an odd look or averted eyes. Marketing is a sinking ship, the CMO was fired a year ago, the department was re-ogranized and broken up to report to the COO. She quit, and they named a new CMO the end of last year. Re-orged marketing twice in my short time there, but never changed out the talent. You can't just move around the puzzle pieces when things are so broken. Find the dead weight (there's lots of it) and/or the individuals who do not know who to be a part of a team (many fit the bill) and fire them. Bring in people who will actually get the job done - whether it's promoting top talent from within or searching from the outside. Marketing, as a function, isn't appreciated at all by top management, so the budget keeps getting smaller and they wonder why they don't get anything good out of them. Too many consultants -- every time you turn around there's another project that's being co-led by an outside consulting agency. They place NO trust in their own full time employees to get things done... then why are we here?

Pros

Good pay, lots of opportunities to progress and go abroad once off of the graduate scheme Good exposure to senior management Market leader in many international markets

Cons

Relocating last minute with a months notice can be difficult but this is only for the two years on the scheme and only three times.
