Nice Work, Lacks Challenge
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Good people, nice work.
Cons: Not challenging enough. Compensation package.
5.0
High standards and great benefits
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Newton, Massachusetts, United States
April 4, 2013
Pros: As an engineer, I actually enjoyed the requirement for all code to be peer-reviewed. You can learn faster, and you know that everything going out the door is quality work. The benefits package is excellent. I loved the recreational travel reimbursement.
Cons: The only con would be that there is no longer a dedicated UI team. Each engineer is responsible for their own UI, with varying results.
My understanding is they broke up the UI team a few years ago in favor of the "speed wins" mantra.
