Pros

Colleagues are nice. Great work-life balance.

Cons

Management has serious issues they need to address, all of which have been voiced. There is a very strict hierarchal leadership structure and input from junior or mid-level employees is not welcomed. People seem so unhappy on a daily basis which has made it difficult to enjoy coming to work every day. There is little to no growth opportunity for junior and mid-level employees and many talented people have left as of recent. There is a pattern of people often being pigeonholed into doing a particular job; they become stuck in that role with no innovation or opportunity to learn and develop professionally.

Pros

Atmosphere, Brand Message, Bring your dog to work, Bar in Boston

Cons

Where do I begin. Very cliquey, no one listens to anyone, no communication, no organization. Almost all management do as they please, whenever they please.
