Pros

Good company culture overall, employees are treated well, respectable CEO, (mostly) very nice people, good office environment at HQ. (Less so in other offices.) A good place to work overall, especially if you’re an engineer, but I’d be wary of other roles.

Cons

1.) MW is an engineering-led company. That may sound great to an engineer but it does have its downsides. Old school management styles, deep hierarchies, fairly rigid, not always competent managers who have a hard time understanding non-technical roles. I got the impression most managers are good, but I had a terrible experience with my mine. 2.) Pay is adequate but not great; you don’t go there for the money, and you won’t be buying anything in a major city. 3.) Office location and in-office requirements: You are required to be onsite 2 days/week. That’s not terrible, and I do understand their rationale, but the facilities are outside of major areas, so you have to drive. At HQ in Natick, MA: commutes in metro Boston suck unless you live close (exurbs of Boston), and neither campus is particularly convenient via transit. (There are shuttles to/from a commuter rail station, but that adds a ton of commute time unless you happen to live along that rail line.) There were days when I found myself going into the office not because it made any sense or added any value, but simply because that is company policy.
