Pros

The Benefits are really good

Cons

Where to start.... way too many VP’s, Senior Directors, Associate Directors and upper management. Those who work hard are not rewarded. When complaints are made to direct managers regarding issues, there are policies in place yet they get ignored and when complaints are made to HR, they are down played. The culture went down hill after the move to Fan Pier. Not a “fun” place to work. Too many people that feel they are entitled and feel they don’t need to work as hard as some of their peers. Career development is just for the special few.

Pros

-Compensation -Benefits -Smart and capable co-workers make the day to day easier to navigate

Cons

-Poor leadership (specifically in the Quality organization). - Leadership does not lead by example - It's not unusual to observe a Quality VP or Sr.director taking screenshots of Teams chats (for CYA?). I question the level of trust (in both directions). This behavior creates a toxic environment. - Quality role scope creep- leadership tries to "own" and/or oversee the activities of other departments outside the scope of their QA responsibility which makes execution of processes cumbersome and, in many cases, non-value added and confusion over responsibility ownership.
