Pros

Salary & Benefits. For night owls ideal company to work for since all of your stakeholders will be in the US, unless you work wirh staholders of local branch in other countries.

Cons

Difficult culture, apparently promotes collaboration but is not real, Cross work teams is not easy and business is very detached from projects in some areas.

Pros

The compensation was good. Some of the people were nice and very knowledgeable about the industry. R&D had really talented scientists, but many were let go in January 2025. Lots of teamwork and collaboration.

Cons

Heavy on the favoritism for promotions. Poor leadership and decision-making. Not enough scientists are left to do the work. The only thing that is keeping some people at the company is the terrible job market. Once the market improves, it will be a mass exodus. The new leaders are clueless about how to turn this sinking ship around. They laid off the good ones.

Pros

*Culture for employees that respects work/life balance, enables career development, get to work with people who bring a patient focused mindset. Not at all a fear-based leadership environment. *Committed management that is fair, positive and balanced even in debate.

Cons

*Remote employee, wish it was feasible to be onsite more often in Cambridge
