Pros

The coworkers in the Superabsorbent Polymers group were wonderful people. They were helpful, friendly, and sincere. Almost everyone I met from my peers to upper managers was someone I would happily spend time with outside of work as well as at work, which made it feel very familial. Safety was a huge priority.

Cons

The company loses track of the temps and seems to forget you might want a permanent job. There is not a clear designated pathway for temp-to-hire here. Also, the job is a dead-end for your career. It's perfect for anyone looking for job security and a nice place to work, but not good if you hope to move upward.

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)
