    GE Vernova
    • Cambridge, MA
    • Electricity, Oil & Gas
    This is good company with a positive outlook. The recent restructuring can negatively impact the mood. The company should invest more in office ergonomics. The flexible working hours and offices are a great advantage. The wages should be revisited, at least in my country, due to high inflation.

    • Roseland, NJ
    • Human Resources Software
    I love that ADP matches both 401k and Roth, that they contribute to HSA even if I don't, and that I have options for medical and dental. I love the gym, and it's free! I love the Perks at Work area for travel and discounts!
