Pros

Disclaimer: all information provided here is available to general public and potential applicants, or is solely my opinion. Albeit this review is anonymous, I intend to honor the Non-Disclosure Agreement that I have signed. I have worked for this company a number of years, and I have to say that over the years the company has tried its best to give its employees a comprehensive benefits package ranging from general "hygienics" like health care and education reimbursement to various discounts and growth opportunities through internal learning programs. If you invest your time, you could harness as much of that as you want.

Cons

Disclaimer: all information provided here is available to general public and potential applicants, or is solely my opinion. Albeit this review is anonymous, I intend to honor the Non-Disclosure Agreement that I have signed. The Pros are enough to put the company at three stars, but not higher. Number one con, at least for me, is that the growth opportunities are actually limited. The company may tout its commitment to employee advancement, but development in technical fields is limited. Look at the company's hiring page, and you will see that the majority of weight-pulling IT development, Information Security and related roles are located outside the United States. The C-Suite and Senior Management is based in the U.S., but that's about it. I understand the cost-cutting strategy, and it pays to develop, defend and support cheaper elsewhere and make more money in the U.S., but if you are interested in those fields at an entry/mid level - steer away from this company unless you want to move to Poland, India, or China. However, if you want to work in sales, marketing, product/project management or improvement, and just in general operations and production management - opportunities are almost always open. This is probably due to the con number two of working at Pitney Bowes: the pay does not match that of similar positions on the job market. Finally, the last but not least con for me is that it is not clear where the company is going. If you look at the company's financial statements and history, you will find out that since the election of the last CEO, the company has gradually lost over 75% of its stock value, its liquidity ratios are horrifying, and its largest segment has been losing more money than it had brought in since inception. In 2018, the company made roughly 6 cents on a dollar, depending how you calculate its profitability using their financial statements. Granted, the company is 100 years old and has been hauling along all the baggage of outdated culture, practices and processes, and it has been gradually disposing of them, but I cannot be a part of that any longer. I have done my share and hope that others will benefit from it.

My team as well as other teams I work with have been amazing. I have grown so much in my role at Pitney Bowes. 15+ years with the company has been very rewarding.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to balance work and personal life but that is more of a me problem. I love what I do and put a lot into it.
