Pros

Not much to be honest, regret working there.

Cons

I want to clarify something, when you're working for ADP, you're working for multiple companies at the same time and you assume multiple roles at the same time, each client you work with will be a different company that you have to dedicate the utmost to at any time they contact you, so you have to handle multiple critical things at the same time. The training is STRONGLY lacking, and you "finish" the training, you will be taken for a ride straight away, I had some coworkers that could not get food with their wife / husband or go to the bathroom, this is a legit story. Avoid this company at ALL costs unless you're sure that you will be part of a team where they don't work you to death (probably by having a friend of yours already there and asking him / her about it).

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
