Fun Company with Engaging Work

Pros

Decent benefits and perks, flexible scheduling and work atmosphere. Interesting and engaging engineering work

Cons

A lot of the employees live out in the suburbs so it's convenient for them, but tough for Boston city-dwellers. They also don't seem to be very competitive with companies closer or in the city to make the commute worthwhile. Projects get killed unexpectedly, or worse, become a zombie project that slowly, and inevitably, dies.

Pros

Good people, great culture. Open door policy. Top management team takes surveys / feedback from employees seriously. Fun place to work.

Cons

Communication loss on director level. Looks like the core values that have been set by the company are misinterpreted by some director level employees.

Systems Engineer Intern

Pros

Awesome people who are fun to talk to and generally don't take things too seriously as long as your work is getting done. The company still has a pretty casual feel to it. Most of the engineers are just people who want to "build cool stuff and make money." Bagel Fridays and occasional beer carts are perks that you don't get at just any company.

Cons

Systems engineering interns are generally employed to run tests. The managers will try to help interns get more interesting work from time to time, but testing comes first. On the other hand, you are getting paid to play with robots...
