Pros

- There's a sense of community within different teams - Food (given the company size): Happy hours on Friday; Biweekly lunches (wish they were weekly); Bagel Thursdays - People do seem to care - Location: easily accessible in the heart of Boston; gym and showers in the basement; bike storage is neat

Cons

- If your team is only you and your boss or something, it's an upward battle to establish rapport with others - Physical layout of the product/engineering/tech side vs. the marketing side hinders the ability to network and know the other side of the company - Onboarding process is finicky and depends on the team - HR benefits are somewhat unclear (commuter pass is annoying as it needs to be pre-charged)

Pros

Great teammates, very collaborative. It’s clear everyone here believes in the mission. Competitive salary

Cons

New leadership is rudderless. Flailing and constantly making changes to leaders. No more long term incentive plan for managers and lower. It feels like they’ve been figuring out things as they go since the acquisition by GTCR. Low opportunity for advancement.
