Pros

- Good work life balance unless you are in the thick of a project - Stable(ish) job, except for when there are layoffs because the people in-charge messed up - Good commute as going away from the city - Good amount vested in your retirement if you stay past 3 year mark

Cons

- Absolutely ZERO investment in work culture. Even holiday events are bring your own food, forget about holiday parties - People have been working here for 20+ years, so very nepo culture as in some get promoted twice in two years and others are holding the same position for 10+ years even when you can see everyone works hard - Compensation does not match what other companies around here pay, especially since Cambridge is so close. Even their own site in Cambridge has way better benefits.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
