Superb atmosphere and work/life balance. I found that the work-from-home schedule made a big difference in my overall quality of life and the humorously irreverent and collegial atmosphere made coming to work fun. It is a small company and your contributions matter and you know it. The company runs lean and it needs you to do your job and lets you do it. If you've ever worked somewhere that cluttered up your work life with impediments, then you know how important this is to your own job satisfaction. It mattered to me that the owners of the company were present and working as hard or harder than everyone else and were managing the company towards longevity and sustainability. The offices are in downtown Boston, a half block from the Boston Common, which is a bona fide benefit if you want to take advantage of what the city has to offer. It also means the weekly catered lunches and occasional off-site party are superior to what you'd get in a different setting. And right around the corner, the French Hot Chocolate at Thinking Cup is to die for.

Great employees, great owners, salary was competitive, time off and work from home policy was superb. I worked here for around three years and left only to take a position offering night schedule for family reasons. In the years since I left, I have remained in contact with management and they have been so helpful with recommendations, etc. as my career has moved forward. I can't recommend this company enough if you are bright and motivated. If you are looking to hide in a cubicle and float along on cruise control, look elsewhere. When I was there, this was a remarkably team-oriented place with new challenges and opportunities arising frequently. Loads of opportunity to learn from some very talented people.
