Pros

Unlimited overtime, good overall atmosphere, flexible schedule. Work as much as you wants, as long as you hit 40 hours

Cons

The automotive coatings division was going through a rough period when I started here. The company was still recovering from the market crash in 2008, so there were still layoffs happening and (understandably) disgruntled employees. There was no room for advancement and no chance to get hired on as a direct employee, although this has changed now I think. I was laid off for 3 months, but was hired back.

Great work environment, great pay, inclusive culture, lots of growth opportunities and mentorship, and the University Recruitment Team was incredible

Cons

Onboarding was difficult in some cases as communications between various departments wasn't always streamlined, but overall, not bad

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
