Pros
Starting salary and benefits package are good
Cons
The place is not fast paced..... it's insane. You may think you are reading a posting from a disgruntled ex employee but you are not. Leaving this monkey house saved my marriage and probably my life. You think I might be exaggerating? Ask any consulting firm within a 25 mile radius of Newton; they are all burned out. Forget what you have learned about best practices in new product development. The business is run like a startup; jumping from fire to blaze. No strategy. Lots of mission creep. On call 24/7. Buried in panic and stress. Executive management is afraid to delegate decision-making because they don't trust themselves. They pick a few favorites and cultivate a climate of a confrontation between everyone else. The starting package is very attractive but, after the letter of offer, that is the last time you will feel good about yourself. You will have to be an adrenaline junkie to survive the ride because starting day 2 the pedal will be all the way to the floorboards with bad brakes and no map. You will work harder than you have ever worked with a complete loss of your personal life and no equity upside: at Shark/Ninja, a rising tide only floats two yatchs. You've been warned.....now run away.
