Challenging & Rewarding

Pros

Fast paced, exciting environment with a common goal - chance to be part of something HUGE. You have the opportunity to wear many different hats within the organization, therefore becoming a SME, and extremely marketable. Beautiful ocean views, great Seaport location, free food & flexibility with PTO. People here work hard but are recognized for all of their contributions.

Cons

Communication between departments could be stronger - something a lot of companies have to work on. Strides are being made to make sure everyone is always on the same page!

Pros

Entrepreneurial, fast-paced start-up environment. Real customers - Get to work with some of the world's top brands! Everybody is hands-on (incl. the execs) and works hard to make a difference. People here are very smart AND very nice. Lots of ongoing efforts to improve (environment, culture, benefits, food, etc.). High degree of transparency.

Cons

Commute can be rough at times (but company offers flexible work hours). May not be a great place for people that are romantic about start-up life (free beer, cool products, smart people -- it's all here!) but aren't prepared for high growth (ambitious goals, rapid changes, hurdles to jump over etc.)

Lots of pros...but also lots of cons. Prepare to work long hours.

Pros

- Good vision for the product and company; good CEO - Employees are given lots of responsibility & accountability - Lots of current and prospective clients (company is on a growth trajectory) - Great health care benefits, which is well-funded by the company so employees don't have to pay too much - Intelligent coworkers who work hard to deliver work on time - Good HQ location in the Seaport district - Snacks, drinks, & beer-on-tap; free lunch on Wednesdays - The senior team hosts a helpful monthly update meeting - The company is still fairly small so it's a pretty flat organization (not a lot of beaurocracy)

Cons

- Incredible amounts of work to be done and not enough resources to do them - Employees are pressured to work very long hours. Their website says they have a "work hard, play hard" culture, but "play hard" activities happen only rarely (despite what the website says). - Most employees are very nice; others....not so much - Seems to be a lot of employee churn for such a small company - Limited professional development / training opportunities - Some of the managers are ... not great - No 401K match - No parking or transit benefit (though they do have a program where you can pay for your own parking or transit using pre-tax dollars) - No vision plan
