Pros

-Long term plan is very positive. Company roadmap and goals are good. -Generally speaking most people are great to work with

Cons

-Taking away full time remote work options. Cannot fill open positions and getting talent to want to live near HQ in Milford MA is difficult. For a global company this policy is very backward thinking. -Compensation not competitive with the market. -Inconsistent HR policies -Annual review scores are slanted as managers are not allowed to give ratings too high, even if the individual deserves it. Only 1 or 2 people per department are allowed to get max ratings.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
