      Pros

      Currently feels stable. Coworkers tend to be more competent than other places I've worked. Resources are there to do some interesting work, although does take some work to secure them. Benefits are solid overall, although base salary and annual stock bonus is a bit lower than competition in my experience. If stock price rises in the future, that may help, but it just seems to be taking a beating so far.

      Cons

      There is opportunity for improvement with culture and workload balance. The high degree of accountability (which is a good thing overall) combined with low desire for collaboration between groups makes for a slightly unpleasant culture, although it seems to be moving in the right direction. Workload, on the other hand, is moving in the wrong direction as leadership is rightfully focused on driving every bit of growth possible. The teams are pretty burnt out.

      Flexible, nice. Not my favorite company thus far

      Pros

      Flexible. Collaborative. Overall positive environment

      Cons

      Pay could be better given the cost of living in Boston. I also just don't quite fit in with the culture within my department, unlike my past companies. I do not feel as though I can fully trust my coworkers; have had issues with people speaking of others behind their backs, without ever confronting them directly about the improvements needed in their work.
