Pros

+ The work atmosphere was great. + The pay was above average. + The site and offices were beautiful. + The benefits were great. I'd say if you can get a job there, then it's still a great job. As I'd hope they're done downsizing and out-sourcing. But I don't know how many IT-related jobs would be in the East Hanover site anymore. Cambridge, MA probably has some openings. And their European and India offices probably have the most positions.

Cons

- Unfortunately, the East Hanover site has severely downsized in the last 3 years. - They've outsourced at least one entire Division overseas. - They've torn down around half the buildings in East Hanover, since they were no longer occupied and could sell / rent the land to other companies. Frankly, until their outsourcing and lay-offs, it was a GREAT place to work. But with the recent changes, I don't know how much I can recommend working there purely based on job security.
