Pay. For recent grads saddled with student debt pay is often the bottom line and you will not get it here. You'll get "promotional" raises while in a role, but if you transition to a role requiring more experience you will not get a raise and won't be told what you can expect to get. They get around this by not accurately classifying the role level. E.G. a role requiring 0 years experience is the same level as a role requiring 3 years of experience. The company can definitely afford to pay more but doesn't for unknown reasons. There are multiple managers in finance who put little to no effort into their job and there are no consequences because they've been there for 15+ years. You won't get to work your way up because no one wants to leave a cushy manager job with no deliverables. The CEO is very nice but no one understands the inflexibility on the work from home policy.

1. Very low salary. They always stress the fact that the location is a millions of miles away from Boston to make you believe a low salary is good enough, but Natick is very very costly. Don't fall into the trap. 2. Huge technical debt and things move very slow. 3. It's sometimes difficult to understand what's going on as it's still under process to decide which methodologies to follow and which technology to stay with. 4. Don't expect a quarterly bonus in the first year. It's either a zero paycheck or very minimal. 5. Join only if you do not have any other job. Good for a first job to learn software engineering and maybe the last job before you retire.
