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

Lots of non-monetary benefits (fresh fruit every morning, modern office space, relaxed culture, nice gym). Very deliberate planning (some complain this causes long delays in decision making). Easy to get involved in new opportunities, communication is clear and the company invests in good applications i.e. Teams, Workday. If you can stand to put in a couple years at low pay you'll likely be set up to get a much better paying job elsewhere. Benefits are great if you are already making a decent wage, but do not compensate from the lack of pay and raises.

Cons

Pay. For recent grads saddled with student debt pay is often the bottom line and you will not get it here. You'll get "promotional" raises while in a role, but if you transition to a role requiring more experience you will not get a raise and won't be told what you can expect to get. They get around this by not accurately classifying the role level. E.G. a role requiring 0 years experience is the same level as a role requiring 3 years of experience. The company can definitely afford to pay more but doesn't for unknown reasons. There are multiple managers in finance who put little to no effort into their job and there are no consequences because they've been there for 15+ years. You won't get to work your way up because no one wants to leave a cushy manager job with no deliverables. The CEO is very nice but no one understands the inflexibility on the work from home policy.
