      Pros

      There are still some good folks working around. Not sure if there are any pros other that this. Well .. unless you are a young, ambitious female so Women in Network (WiN) could help you advance even if you don't have a clue.

      Cons

      1) Someone here said - location?! This person must be leaving in the hotel across the street. Otherwise, you waste you life stuck on Rt. 128. The executives moved the US HQ to this high profile building ignoring the human cost. Since then they lost (maybe intentionally) lot of seasoned staff and had to adopt the flextime which someone else here so praised. 2) New management promoted despite their incompetence, inexperience and lack of respect among co-workers. Demoralized old staff and bunch of newly hired college kids under such leadership = Power of Action!

      Pros

      Honestly the only pro was that I was being paid well and got to work remotely.

      Cons

      The microaggressions and sometimes blatant racism; lack of HR when you needed them; lack of diversity; and the fact that we couldn't do our best work because all of our software was from prehistoric ages made it impossible for me to rate this any higher than 1 star
