Pros

Projects are interesting and there are always new ones available (keeps it interesting). Colleagues are friendly and the environment is familial. Safety is a number one for the company when planning any project/experiment.

Cons

Not much to say here, I really enjoyed my time at the company. Maybe just that at times the environment is too familial and the professional line is crossed by a few employees

Pros

Some good people and good location around Boston area.

Cons

Cabot did not feel like an employee-focused company during my time there. I observed multiple layoffs, including employees who had been hired only a few months earlier. The work environment was often very stressful, with heavy workloads and frequent organizational changes. Communication across different management layers was sometimes inconsistent, leading to mixed messages and unclear priorities. Before accepting a position, I would encourage candidates to carefully evaluate the role, team, and long-term stability of the organization. Significant changes can occur quickly, and it's important to understand the potential impact on work-life balance and career plans.
