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.

Pros

The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

Cons

Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
