Pros

*great work life balance - I have the flexibility and option in my schedule to work remote or in the office. Sometimes things just pops up unexpectedly and I was able to take time off for it. *The PEOPLE - employees are super friendly and welcoming. They are always willing to assist and answer any questions I have. Teammates are always checking in to see if there's anything they can assist on my plate. If I am on PTO, I know I can enjoy my vacation without thinking about work as I know I have teammates who can support and cover. *learning environment - Everyday I am still learning different skills and doing different projects. I even get to partner with other employees outside of my team, which is a great learning experience from my previous job. *Company Party - two company parties a year to bond and connect with employees from all different teams including lunches, team competitions, and volunteering! *Office - 360 view of Boston from every corner in the office. Kitchen is filled with snacks! The fridges are always full of a variety of drinks such as cold brews, juices, soda, kombuchas, milk..etc. (Do you know how much I saved without buying coffee?!)

Cons

*Not enough peanut butter pretzels and Reese's in the office! Every time I go to our chocolate bowl, the Reese's are gone...

Pros

Every member of the Engineering department is great to work with. There's unlimited PTO, good benefits, competitive pay, and full-time remote positions. The opportunities to grow and develop your skills are there, you just have to make yourself heard and take advantage of them when possible.

Cons

Feels like the culture of the company, or at least the engineering department, has taken a hit lately. Company seems to be "growing up" in the sense that it's getting to be all about pushing out new features and finishing the latest "high priority" project (there's a newer, higher priority project every week somehow), less flexibility to do R&D or reduce tech debt.
