Pros

Excellent colleagues at the team level, and lots of great team leads. My team was easily the best part of my time at MW. Great WLB. The offices are very nice if you're fond of going in. Work is interesting if you're on a specialized team or if you're lucky enough to get to work with newer tech. Stakeholder dividend is nice, but equity would be nicer.

Cons

Core values applied on a "rules for thee, not for me" basis by upper management. Despite proclaiming a "rational workplace" the rank and file were never given any reasoning for why they're required to work in the office while plenty of senior leaders have decided they themselves get to work fully remotely. Career progression is slow, based largely on tenure rather than performance. Pay could be better. Rent is rising faster than compensation in Massachusetts. Lots of teams stuck on older tech because "that's how it has always been done, it's too hard to change things now"

Pros

+ Respect for work life balance. No one forces you to work after-hours, or on weekends. Seems like the company on the whole cares about its employees. + Competitive compensation. Salaries are on par with other big software companies. + Very respectful, receptive and friendly engineers all around. All highly qualified too. + Tech being developed has real value and the products have very few competitors. As a result the company enjoys continuous profitable growth.

Cons

- Most of the internal software infrastructure (like for integration testing, tracking bugs, source control, etc.) and internal practices (like the software development cycle) were developed within the company in the past. As a result, they are outdated and inneficient compared to the solutions available in the market. - The primary tech is not open source. A lot of what you learn might not be of use once you leave the company. -
