Pros

The salary and benefits are very competitive. The organization treats their staff very well. Was voted one of the top 100 places to work in Boston three years in a row. Lots of perks.

Cons

Many managers are driven by the concept of perfection. That is an inspiring notion, but their definition of perfection changes frequently. Many, many people in leadership positions are involved in all levels of work, so there is often an overload of inconsistent feedback.

Pros

Benefits, such as PTO and health, are fantastic.

Cons

A pro and a con are there are rarely set ways to do things. You can pave your own way, but others could be paving a way to the same destination and just creating more paths when it would be better to work together.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We love that you feel the autonomy to pave your own way here, and recognize that also can present its own challenge with duplicating efforts.
