Pros

Half of the people I worked with were the most amazing coworkers and human beings. The energy of the company as a whole as well I found to be welcoming with variations depending on location. Outside of Boston and among the most senior members in Boston, people are wonderful.

Cons

Any hiring they've supposedly done hasn't actually been visible. In busy months I was often working 18 hour days with only criticism to work more and inappropriate demands. The office culture for younger employees often had very unprofessional and isolating behaviors, and diversity in employees on a personal level is definitely more sneered at than appreciated as opposed to the company's mission.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
