Pros

If you don't want to live or commute up to North Jersey the location is great. Some people working there are amazing and will bend over backwards to work with you, sadly these same people tend to burn out quickly. Pay is within reason, but more on the low side of the typical range for the industry. Benefits are iffy but the vacation package is decent and flexible. If you play the political game and stab people in the back you can move up very easily. Just remember: the person who tells the story first wins. That bit of knowledge will get you far.

Cons

Terrible work-life balance. While you are not 'required' to work overtime your reviews and ultimately your job status will suffer because of it (plus after a certain title level you will not be compensated for overtime). Management has extremely unrealistic timelines and demands. Management is unwilling to fix the problems at hand and instead blames the people who find issues and report it up. If you find a problem, you inherit the work load associated with it, even if that is not part of your job description (or under your department). Insanely high turnover. Product is not making it out the door because management will not authorize the time and resources to properly fix issues causing defects. Everyone wants to just bury their head in the sand instead. No communication. Overwhelming belief that people should feel privileged to work for the company.

Pros

To provide a balanced perspective, one positive aspect was the company's willingness to offer flexible work arrangements.

Cons

I would encourage prospective employees to carefully evaluate the company culture before joining. In my experience, the work environment lacked the level of professionalism and collaborative leadership I expected. Leadership decisions at the senior level often appeared to be driven by personal viewpoints rather than objective discussion and open engagement. Employees who did not align with the preferred direction could experience resistance rather than constructive dialogue. The culture felt more aligned with a "my way or the highway" management style than a collaborative and inclusive approach. I also experienced situations where information communicated about my performance appeared inconsistent with my actual work contributions and outcomes. Rather than constructive feedback supported by objective metrics and open discussion, I felt there were instances where narratives surrounding performance were inaccurate or misrepresented. This created concerns regarding transparency, accountability, and the overall feedback process. The company has also faced regulatory challenges in the past, which may be worth researching independently as part of your due diligence process. My experience ultimately did not align with my expectations for leadership, transparency, and organizational culture.
