Pros

Culture of working safely and looking out for each other. New CEO is inspiring, down-to-earth, trustworthy and goal-oriented.

Cons

Being a smaller company that runs lean, you will be asked to wear multiple hats and achieve self-motvated results using limited resources. There’s limited movement within the company, so you may have to move out to move up. Lackluster effort is rewarded, so there continues to be a struggle to hold the responsibile party accountable. Seems that majority of employees have been employed for 20+ years and drive a culture resistant to change.

Pros

Some good people and good location around Boston area.

Cons

Cabot did not feel like an employee-focused company during my time there. I observed multiple layoffs, including employees who had been hired only a few months earlier. The work environment was often very stressful, with heavy workloads and frequent organizational changes. Communication across different management layers was sometimes inconsistent, leading to mixed messages and unclear priorities. Before accepting a position, I would encourage candidates to carefully evaluate the role, team, and long-term stability of the organization. Significant changes can occur quickly, and it's important to understand the potential impact on work-life balance and career plans.
