Pros

Great work environment with awesome benefits including free food and other perks. For a software engineer it provides awesome startup culture with benefits of a financial firm. Most engineers are highly experienced or are from best schools like MIT.

Cons

Drive to Boston from outside is the hard part.

Pros

Was once a darling of the media, so relatively high profile. They provide lots of free food and drinks (engineers got free lunches every day). Paid healthcare and dental.

Cons

The cult of personality around the CEO is incredibly stifling. Employee input is never sought, and is rarely even tolerated. The expectation is that you will work long days without question or hesitation (12+ hours for 7 days a week for one sustained period for Engineers during a 2 month product build). Work/life balance was nonexistent. While I was there, the CEO actively and overtly initiated a campaign to pit engineering staff and the head of engineering against each other. He treats employees as pawns in an egotistical machiavellian game. Just plain awful.
