Pros

Very easy, work life balance is good (everyone gets up right at 5), did i mention it was easy, free snacks, really easy.

Cons

The pay is rediculous, i left to double my salary. You only get promoted if you are drinking buddies with the management. Very little opportunity to learn about the industry you work in. Raises are a joke, I laughed when i got mine (it was about $300).

Pros

young, enthusiastic culture, there are some opportunities to learn about the business and there is room to move around the company. Good Benefits. The owners were very nice to everyone and tried their best to get to know anyone they could. They had very good intentions.

Cons

It was best described when someone said it was like a technology factory with little monkeys (college grads and Northeastern co-ops) on the factory line. I wanted a job in marketing and while the title "Product Marketing Specialist" sounds like marketing...trust me it's not. I sat there along with all the other monkeys for a whole year entering product descriptions until I was numb. I also answered phones for a few months. The work was so un-stimulating and un-challenging I felt like I wasn't doing anything with my brain; and it was especially hard since I'd had jobs before hand where I felt really valued and used my brain all day while continually being challenged. This was the complete opposite. I was so under-valued and not challenged in the least. I was so replaceable that it wouldn't matter if I were sitting there or a dummy in my place who could type. Really, it was that bad. Some days I would go in there crying. I also tried to move to a different dept at some points, desperate to change my boring routine. For some it worked fine; but I worked my butt off for months and was never moved. However, some employees who had just joined the company were promoted right away. This was very difficult for me. I couldn't get out of that company fast enough. One year felt like an eternity.

Pros

Leaves plenty of time outside of work for personal life, great benefits package, lots of vacation time, good location in downtown boston

Cons

Very difficult to advance, environment has become much more stressful and negative in the past year or so. It seems like the company is experiencing growing pains and trying to figure out how to operate.
