Pitney Bowes Reviews

I worked at Pitney Bowes as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Friendly environment, small teams that cared about each other, non cut throat and good work life balance as they will not be forcing you to work more than 40 hours a week unless it is absolutely necessary.

Cons – Engineering department is slowing down, less and less work for engineers to do, very few opportunities for young engineers with the lay offs also creating a nervous environment as who is going to be next.

Advice to Senior Management – Find a way to attract young engineers and figure out how to get work for the ones there, as currently it is slow and the engineers are a bit discouraged about what they are going to be doing.

Pros – Simple job. Copying and taking care of the background work of law offices. Great people to work for and with.

Pros – They pay relatively high salaries. Most jobs have very flexible self-regulated schedules. A lot of jobs (growing all the time) are work from home.

Cons – The products and services are market leaders in a dying industry. The only way the ever even come close to analysts numbers is by continuously laying off personnel. The work place is toxic, there used to be (for the past 8 years or so) an annual lay-off right between Thanksgiving and Christmas (nice timing huh, very thoughtful), but now the lay-offs are what seems to be every week from a different group or department so no one ever knows when they go into work on a given day if it will it be their last. The amount of work for each individual is enormous because the survivors have to pick up the load. They constantly bring in people from the outside as management, they don't promote from within very often, and the new management seem to be getting worse and worse. They finally got rid of Murray Martin who basically drove the company into the ground with no repercussions whatsoever.

Advice to Senior Management – C-Level personnel should look to clean house of VP and above who have been at PB for more than say 20 years instead of laying off all the workers that have all the domain knowledge. Get rid of the layers and layers of management. As a manager I have 11 people under me. Yet there are many groups in WHQ who have a manager (with no direct reports) reporting to a Director, who reports to a Senior Director who reports to a VP and that is the VP's entire organization, himself and three or four other higher management positions. But you keep laying off the workers. Really? And stop outsourcing all our jobs because you are losing the local domain knowledge and letting things like control of your data, of all things, be controlled by someone else.
