Pros

If you are in engineering, you are exposed to all possible technologies out there..Server side/client sideC++/Java/Python/Oracle/noSQL/iOS/Android/Restful/embedded/machine learning/biometrics/vision/speech...you name it. On par with opportunities people get in Google/Amazon/Microsoft..You are encouraged to invent. The managers give a lot of leeway to the individual contributors, and reward creativity. The engineering colleagues are on the top of their specialized areas. The IT staff never says NO to any computing resources you need. The executive stuff know how to run the best workplace in the Boston area..

Cons

Cannot think of one. Possibly been going through the best of the times, so cannot find one negative.

Pros

New CEO is smart, capable, and doing a good job Benefits were good Catered lunch in the office each Wednesday

Cons

Toxic middle management - yelling, tantrums, and retaliation on top of extreme incompetence. Managers fail to lead and are essentially micromanagers of tasks. They create meaningless work, stress out about it, and fail to validate the business need at any point in the process. When you suggest and deliver something of actual value, you will receive no credit. Honestly this was the worst experience of my entire professional career and I’ve never been so thankful to leave an organization.
