Pros
* Pay is at or above the median in the Boston Area. There is a moderate amount of pay transparency through pay bands, but not individual pay. Ask for this information during your interview process. * Titles are sandbagged compared to the rest of industry. This is a good place to level up your title and pay, but holding on to that when leaving might be hard. * The goals ahead are extremely lofty, but if they are hit that will mean amazing success for the company and employees * Currently a 100% employee owned company. There is a potential pay out if things go well. * If you're not on a team being burned out, work life balance is good.
Cons
* The CEO and COO are using fear based tactics for motivation coupled with a round robin of burning out different teams to put out fires. * Recently, company values are taking a back seat if they aren’t convenient. They are spoken of often, but actions embodying them are fading while counter examples increase. * Inter group communication and coordination is in an utter state of chaos as the company scales. There are 9 VPs for the 250 employees as well as plenty of middle management. Most importantly it does not feel like they are pulling in the same direction. This could be an opportunity for an incoming middle manager/director to improve things, but for boots-on-the-ground employees you're going to catch the fallout without much empowerment to help improve it for now. * Nepotism and large cohorts of people from leadership's past jobs. Although neither of these are bad in isolated amounts, this is very common here and rarely ends up being entirely fair and neutral for all.
