Pros

Location is good: close to South Station, lots of options for lunch Opportunities to work abroad if you are interested Good work-life balance

Cons

High turnover for some teams. More than 70% of a team with about 12 people left within a year and a half: just the head of team and 3-4 others were still there. That tells you how people think of the place. HR controls everything. They can rescind an offer after making one for reasons like "the salary in our offer letter is too high after second thoughts."

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
