Pros

Great benefits and salary higher than most Boston companies. Nice location. Excluding upper management really talented people to work beside.

Cons

Upper management uses bully tactics and if your female do not expect to advance into a leadership position. HR continues to support the employee at will approach and terminates employees with no justification but because they can. Upper management is all about brown nosing and managing up. They never value their staff that does the majority of the work. It is a high school mentality and toxic environment.

Pros

-Compensation -Benefits -Smart and capable co-workers make the day to day easier to navigate

Cons

-Poor leadership (specifically in the Quality organization). - Leadership does not lead by example - It's not unusual to observe a Quality VP or Sr.director taking screenshots of Teams chats (for CYA?). I question the level of trust (in both directions). This behavior creates a toxic environment. - Quality role scope creep- leadership tries to "own" and/or oversee the activities of other departments outside the scope of their QA responsibility which makes execution of processes cumbersome and, in many cases, non-value added and confusion over responsibility ownership.
