Solid international company

Pros

Working conditions are pretty good. Employer provides visa support and competitive salaries.

Cons

Some projects are not tempting at all. It is the matter of luck sometimes. The promotion system is not so rapid. Like other big companies it is better to sit there for a long time to get promoted.

Don’t do it

Anonymous employee

Pros

Nothing is positive at all

Cons

Where to begin. - no development - UK centric with no involvement from the US - broken processes - no respect - lack of ownership - UK employees are favored over US - Whippany location is trying to be sold as a “high tech” location. When in reality it is a remote location, where your career becomes stagnant and essentially as an employee you’re forgotten. - Morale is at an all time low and it’s challenging to come to work - Resignation will continue to occur

Disappointing to read your review. I notice that you have said you are a Director and I really hope that gives you some influence to help change the culture for your team. HR will be able to talk to you confidentially and offer advice and guidance on how you can make a difference and hopefully encourage others to do so as well.I'd really encourage you to have a chat with them.
