Pros

By the time I left, the only real pro was the fact I got a paycheck and insurance. Some of the people were the best I'd ever met.

Cons

What they said the position would be is customer service. What it continued to turn into was soft sales. They didn't care about customer service, quality of product, or quality of support agents, all they wanted you to do was upsell. They say at the start of your time there that there are countless opportunities to be promoted... which is true if you want to go into customer success. If not, you're doomed. Conflict of interest and favoritism are blatantly obvious yet no one does anything. If you aren't a favorite, your career deadends. Backstabbing and gossip is as bad as a high school's. It started out as a decent place to work... it continues to go downhill. The turnover rate is awful. Job description of customer engagement specialist doesn't match what you will end up doing. Only wish I could have left sooner.

Pros

They try to be fun. Beer cart on Friday.

Cons

Management is literally allowed to break the law and no one cares. HR doesn't help anyone. Sales turnover is huge. Marketing is a disaster. The "happy" is just on the surface. Constant layoffs, and certain people will get lumped into that because managers can't manage, but will hide behind company instability.

Pros

Pizza and beer cart Friday's Unlimited vacation Decent pay for Boston area software engineer Hackathons

Cons

Technical directors and some managers had little to zero knowledge of the technical stack they were working in. How could one expect them to lead a team and be successful? I remember sitting down with a Director one time and having to explain basic software engineering 101 concepts to them Promotions were given to the "in" crowd and not based on merit. Technical decisions proven with data to back them up were rejected in favor of political stances. Legacy infrastructure with dated toolsets. Main application was far too monolithic resulting in a massive amount of bugs, slower release cycles, and lack of feature innovation. HR "business partners" are a joke and are out to help and save the company, not you.
