Pros

You get to work with cutting edge technology, an industry that's changing and evolving quickly, some very smart people, and a respected industry name. The Needham office has LOTS of associated perks, including a pretty convenient location and ample parking. Not sure how that's going to go over when they move to the Seaport. As a female in tech, I found that I received a lot of support, my ideas were welcome, encouraged, and I felt listened to, which was a GREAT experience. Colleagues and environment were warm and welcoming, and there seemed to be a lot of respect for people's time outside of work. In my department, arriving at 9 and leaving at 5 wasn't frowned upon. We worked to meet deadlines but there wasn't an unhealthy race to who can stay the latest.

Cons

Constant restructuring and layoffs, lots of time wasting, especially in endless and redundant meetings, and the most incompetent HR personnel I've ever come across. The recruiting team is great, but once you're an employee, the HR team is unresponsive, absent-minded, and unprofessional.

Pros

Flexible, great colleagues, good HR training on goals and objectives

Cons

Depends on the group, toxic culture pockets exist, abusive and bullying behavior is laughed at and accepted rather than corrected, unclear strategy, business unit level vision is lacking, no accountability, several HR complaints against a manager go unaddressed, slow to change, can be chaotic, more interest in checking the box than hitting the right mark.
