Great Culture and People
Software Engineer Intern • Former Employee

Pros: Extremely talented and passionate people, who you'll be working with at the company. Perks such as free lunch every day of the week and an office gym are fantastic too.
Cons: In my opinion, there is a high degree of power distance at the company that management should address.

Great first job, limited career growth
Software Engineer II • Former Employee
Newton Upper Falls, Massachusetts, United States
May 1, 2015
Pros: A great, collaborative engineering organization, full of individuals with deep knowledge of their fields.
You'll learn a ton about how to build software quickly at scale.
By and large, the work-life balance is appropriate, although some teams death-march more than others.
Cons: Large, monolithic codebase that is painful to work with due to lack of investment in routine upkeep and automated testing.
Time-tracking oriented culture – your project time is tracked to the hour and reported upwards throughout management.
Although you'll be shipping code every week, often you'll find yourself just moving buttons around on an existing page.
A recent exodus of young engineers has left a huge gap in the culture.
