Pros

Great and friendly lower level coworkers

Cons

High turnover "Vacations are not a right" has been said in the engineering department Eng management has their nose in your day to day constantly WFH is frowned upon Boston location without the Boston perks (lower salary, bad location, office is small in a basement) No firm company direction - all projects are a stab in the dark Long hours with little/no incentive to work overtime Developers do their own QA work/tests Management seeks to blame people for mistakes Product management is inexperienced and knows little about the product Verbal sexual harassment was a weekly event for upper management
