      Management is ancient in its thinking

      Pros

      This place is full of bright, innovative people who are creating some amazing products. The work is truly interesting and some really breath taking research is going on. The work and the people are what make this place worth getting up for in the morning.

      Cons

      Upper management is ancient in its thinking. Benefits are a joke. Management is unable to get out of its and the employees way. Bureaucracy rules the organization – process for process sake. Greatest obstacle to success is senior management.

      Pros

      Some GREAT people remain at the Hopkinton location and there are still some pockets of innovative employees and technology.

      Cons

      At the end of the day, senior leadership is only focused on numbers and not the people.
