Pros

As a European company the vacation is very generous. The 401K match up to 6% was also generous although it does not fully vest until year 3 (25% the first year, 50% the second year). Work life balance is good. My advice to entry level individuals: They are a good place to learn valuable skills for a couple of years but if you want to move up and earn more money you will have to move on. I appreciated the diversity and also many women in management roles.

Cons

I think the biggest con was a never-ending stream of business operational initiatives. Corporate priorities were constantly shifting which was terribly distracting and disruptive to the business. Fairly strong non-competes/NDAs are required and enforced in Massachusetts. Also: It is run by engineers with limited people skills and no sense of humor. So if you are an engineer, enjoy! And if you have a personality I would advise you to seek employment elsewhere.

Pros

Culture, work life balance, health benefits, 401k match, sick leave. The work is interesting and the people are great. There are many different business areas, so depending on your expertise, you could move around within the company if you want.

Cons

Silos, career development can be unclear and poorly managed depending on who you report to, unclear job expectations depending on your management, unclear path to progress or promotion depending on management, long term employees are paid less and have not been brought up to market value. The cons are more so related to upper management not advocating or helping their team progress. I’ve had some managers who are wonderful, and others that were not when it came to development. It really depends on the team and the department you are part of. The company is huge and it’s easy to get pushed to the side if you do not advocate for yourself and build an internal network.
