Your time there largely depends on how well your department is managed. My department had zero work/home life balance. It was serious enough to bust up marriages and cause rapid turnover- Other departments with a work/home life balance were happier and had little to no turnover Its hard to move to different departments without it being top secret and you having an in with the area you are trying to move to. Everything is far away/long drive so your pretty much stuck on site in terms of lunch plans but you are still on a beautiful sprawling well maintained property. So as long as you can do with out fast food, you should be fine. Commute is horrendous

- Commute from NYC is awful and mentally and physically taxing. It especially puts the younger employees in a personal dilemma between living in white plains, or living in the city and having to travel 1.5 hours each way (3 hours a day total, 2.5 days of your life lost every month to the commute) - The standards for the quality of your work are low. You can put in minimal effort and still walk away with a good performance review (this might be a pro for some, but if you're looking to be intellectually challenged and do something meaningful, it will be soul-crushing) - Office politics can't even be described in words. Slows the pace of innovation incredibly. - Sure, you may get a lot of "responsibility", but be prepared to see your recommendations and attempts at the innovation the company craves fall onto deaf ears. - Team structures here just don't work. Every team is a subunit of another unit and there is no true collaboration.
