Good place to work
Good place to work
Was there for a couple of years.
Many things are team-dependent, so take everything with a grain of salt.
- Excellent pay
- Great benefits (health insurance, food, 401k, etc.)
- Lots of flexibility and autonomy
- Good COVID policies
- Great people in the Boston office
Work/life balance can be an issue, although that is very team and org dependent.
It can be difficult to find good work. As a senior engineer, you are mostly responsible yourself to find the right work and projects to forward your team's goals. If you choose poorly, effort and execution won't matter.
I wasn't ever impressed by mid-to-high level management/leadership. It seemed like some people up in pretty high places didn't 'get' it, with regards to how software engineers make tradeoffs.
