Pros

- HQ in Natick seems like a nice place with good intentions - Nice atmosfear

Cons

- People are threatened by management - They treat people well when they need you but eliminate you if they don’t need you - Everyone is too scared to speak up. Even before the exit interview management makes sure people don’t speak up - The smart once leave, in sales basically no one stays more than 1-2 years - MD needs to be diagnoses by medical professional - Me however, I’m stuck and desperate to find a new job. It is really the badest place I have ever been to

Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
