Fun Vibes, But Turnover Issues
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Snack, great location, young and fun working environment.
Cons: High turnover rate. They are trying to replace people with lower-paid new graduates.

Engineer for 6 years here
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
May 13, 2024
Pros: The engineers you work with will always help you when you get stuck. However, the documentation they provide is mostly broken link farms or outdated (older than 6 months here means everything has changed).
Cons: I liked the company until the COVID era, as management became political and disconnected from the ICs they work with. I have had great managers, as well as ones that I felt did not provide enough value for my team.

Perks But Chaos, Low Pay
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
February 20, 2020
Pros: Employee Discount
Location
Some Thoughtful Perks
I had a great manager (just got a new one - jury is still out).
Lots of responsibility early on.
Cons: Work-life balance for engineering isn't great.
Legacy systems and dependencies break all the time.
The new engineering shift is causing a little bit of chaos, sending everyone to the cloud on microservices (which many engineers here out of college have not experienced).
Compensation is at the very low end of market value.
My experience has been that teams are understaffed.
