Flexible work life in some instances, company-wide early dismissal during the summer, most teams are very helpful & friendly, company lounge & cafeteria, free parking, mall and gym nearby, free shuttle service to and from Harvard Square

Cons

Assistants are not recognized as well as they should be, HR leadership is not responsive, educational support is not as intensive as one would expect, carries too many contract employees for extended periods of time
