Low pay and high working pressure as a developer

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free breakfast and free lunch. Free dinner if you stay in the office until 7:30-8:00 PM.

Cons

Working pressure for a software developer is very high as a developer needs to deliver multiple features, fix bugs, and write tests and numerous examples every half year. Low base salary. No stock. Very few bonus. The base salary increase is about 3% annually if you work very hard to catch up the plan. No product manager who knows the relation between different products. So, people in different teams hardly notice the feature difference between cross-teams and what other teams are doing. HRs are non-responsive and do not care about the personal conditions of employees. The manager determines your working experience only.

Great Culture and WLB, but too much politics

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great culture - Great WLB - Free food - Good company to coast - Good for Retirement

Cons

- Many people won't do any work but take credit for someone else's work. - Salary is peanuts for Boston's cost of living. - Slow pace, sometimes you won't feel like you learned anything. - too much politics. If you try to grow, people will be there to pull you down. If you listen to your manager and show no career aspirations publicly, you'll do fine. - Many teams are useless. If I were in position, I'd fire half of the people.
